Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the primary judge erred by failing to identify jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's decision dismissing the appellant's protection visa review application." 'Whether the appellant could rely on grounds in the Federal Court that were not raised before the primary judge.' "Whether the Tribunal's adverse credibility findings lacked a basis or evidence or were otherwise flawed." "Whether the appellant's reference to a recent High Court decision identified any appellable error." 'Whether the Tribunal failed to follow procedures required by the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) or denied procedural fairness.']
