BZD15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 654

BZD15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 654

The appellant identified no information that had to be put to him under ss 424A or 424AA, and any complaint about the Tribunal's doubts as to credibility could not establish breach of those provisions. The second ground was unexplained, had not been raised below, and in any event the Tribunal considered the appellant's claims and the relevant legislation, including s 91R, and its findings were open to it and not manifestly unreasonable. The appellant's submissions amounted to disagreement with the Tribunal's factual findings, which the Federal Court could not review on the merits.

Procedural Posture

Migration Appeal Concerning Refusal of a Protection (class Xa) Visa / Appeal to the Federal Court From a Federal Circuit Court Judgment Dismissing an Application for Judicial Review

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the Federal Circuit Court erred in rejecting the contention that the Tribunal failed to comply with ss 424A and 424AA of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth).' "Whether the Tribunal acted in a manifestly unreasonable way or ignored the appellant's claims of persecution and harm under s 91R of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth)." "Whether the appellant established error in the Federal Circuit Court's judgment."]

Ratio Decidendi

The appellant identified no information that had to be put to him under ss 424A or 424AA, and any complaint about the Tribunal's doubts as to credibility could not establish breach of those provisions. The second ground was unexplained, had not been raised below, and in any event the Tribunal considered the appellant's claims and the relevant legislation, including s 91R, and its findings were open to it and not manifestly unreasonable. The appellant's submissions amounted to disagreement with the Tribunal's factual findings, which the Federal Court could not review on the merits.
