BFF16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1910

BFF16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1910

The grounds of appeal failed to identify any jurisdictional error by the Federal Circuit Court, as the Tribunal did consider the appellant's claims and evidence regarding employment prospects and afforded him a meaningful hearing. The Tribunal's evaluation of the evidence was reasonable and within its remit, and no failure occurred that would warrant allowing the appeal.
