BRZ17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 677

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not establish that the IAA failed to consider exercising the discretion in s 473DC or that it was legally unreasonable not to invite him to an interview; s 424A did not apply to the Pt 7AA review and the IAA was not required to put different findings to him; and the IAA had expressly considered the refugee claims cumulatively and relied on that reasoning for complementary protection.
