CAW15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 930

CAW15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 930

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to satisfy the first limb of the Decor test. The Tribunal's reasons showed that it examined the applicant's risk of persecution and did not underestimate or fail properly to assess that risk, and the primary judge's decision was not attended with sufficient doubt. The new bias ground had no meaningful particulars or merit and did not justify leave to raise it.

Procedural Posture

Application for Leave to Appeal Interlocutory Judgment of the Federal Circuit Court / Application for Leave to Appeal From Dismissal of Judicial Review Application

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the applicant should be granted leave to appeal from the interlocutory order dismissing his judicial review application.' "Whether the primary judge's decision was attended by sufficient doubt because the Tribunal allegedly failed to examine or underestimated the applicant's risk of persecution in China." 'Whether the applicant should be permitted to raise a new ground alleging bias by the Tribunal.' 'Whether substantial injustice would result if leave to appeal were refused.']

The Tribunal's reasons showed that it examined the applicant's risk of persecution and did not underestimate or fail properly to assess that risk, and the primary judge's decision was not attended with sufficient doubt. The new bias ground had no meaningful particulars or merit and did not justify leave to raise it.
