BSQ16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 469

BSQ16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 469

The appellant failed to demonstrate error by the primary judge or jurisdictional error by the Immigration Assessment Authority. The appeal grounds did not engage with the primary judge's reasons, and in any event the Authority considered the appellant's claims, made credibility and factual findings that were open on the material and supported by logical and probative reasons, was not required under Part 7AA to interview the appellant or ask further questions, did not breach the exhaustively stated procedural fairness requirements, and did not make findings without evidence. Section 425 did not apply to a Part 7AA review. The appeal was therefore dismissed.

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the grounds of appeal engaged the Federal Court's appellate jurisdiction by identifying appellable error by the Federal Circuit Court" "Whether the Immigration Assessment Authority failed to consider a claim or integer of the appellant's claims" 'Whether the Authority denied procedural fairness by making adverse credibility and plausibility findings' 'Whether s 473DA of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) excludes the common law natural justice hearing rule from reviews under Part 7AA' 'Whether the Authority was required to ask the appellant relevant questions or interview him in a fast track review' 'Whether the Authority made findings without evidence' "Whether s 425 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) applied to the Authority's Part 7AA review" 'Whether a s 473GB certificate gave rise to jurisdictional error']

Ratio Decidendi

The appellant failed to demonstrate error by the primary judge or jurisdictional error by the Immigration Assessment Authority.

Section 425 did not apply to a Part 7AA review. The appeal was therefore dismissed.
