CCW16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1002

CCW16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1002

The appeal failed because the Authority had considered the risk of harm to returnees from Bangladesh, including the issue said to arise from illegal departure, and the appellant's other points either sought to introduce evidence not before the Authority or challenged the merits of the Authority's factual assessment. No jurisdictional error by the Authority or error by the Federal Circuit Court was shown.
