BGY15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 217

BGY15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 217

The appeal failed because the appellant identified no jurisdictional or legal error in the Tribunal's or primary judge's reasoning. The Tribunal had considered the likelihood of brief detention on return to Sri Lanka and found no basis for LTTE suspicion or discriminatory enforcement; it expressly considered the appellant's claims individually and cumulatively; and it did not breach s 424A or act in haste, having put relevant matters to the appellant and not being required to disclose country information or doubts about his evidence.
