BNR15 v Minister for Immigration and Border protection [2017] FCA 1011

BNR15 v Minister for Immigration and Border protection [2017] FCA 1011

The Tribunal's decision was not affected by jurisdictional error; it properly considered the appellant's personal circumstances and the reasonableness of relocation to Kabul, taking into account the relevant evidence and legal principles. The Tribunal's assessment of the risk from generalised violence in Kabul was reasoned and supported by the evidence, and its conclusion that the risk to the appellant was no more than remote was justified. There is no error in the Tribunal's findings or application of law to the appellant's circumstances.
