BZY15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 323

BZY15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 323

The Tribunal provided procedural fairness as required by s 425; the appellant was on sufficient notice of the critical issues including his uncle's LTTE membership. Any mischaracterisation by the Tribunal did not affect the opportunity to be heard and made no difference to the outcome. The Tribunal's decision was neither irrational nor illogical and thus no jurisdictional error was demonstrated. The appeal is dismissed with costs.
