BHI16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1441

BHI16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1441

The appeal was dismissed because the Tribunal had considered all matters raised by the appellant, including her former occupation as a policewoman, claims of harm to her family, country information, and her claimed risk as a single woman or from criminal activity. In light of the Tribunal's adverse credibility findings and its consideration of those claims, the Federal Circuit Court did not err in concluding that no jurisdictional error was shown.
