BZP15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 1351

No jurisdictional error was made by the Tribunal in affirming the refusal of a protection visa. The material covered by the purported section 438 certificate was not material to the Tribunal's decision and did not affect the outcome; thus, any procedural breach was not material. The appeal failed on all grounds and was dismissed with costs.
