BGK16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 413

Leave to rely on the proposed grounds of appeal was refused because the grounds had no merit: grounds 1, 2 and 3 merely challenged factual findings and sought merits review, while ground 4 did not identify how the Tribunal failed to follow required procedure and no such failure appeared from the Tribunal's decision record. The appellant's submissions did not disclose error in the Tribunal's decision or the primary Judge's decision.
