BRQ16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1350

BRQ16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1350

Leave to appeal was refused because there was no evidentiary basis for the contention that the Federal Circuit Court hearing was unfair, and the applicant did not identify any challenge to the Federal Circuit Court's conclusion that the Tribunal decision was not affected by jurisdictional error. Accordingly, the Federal Circuit Court orders were not attended by sufficient doubt, and any remedy would be futile.
