CDP16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 1054

CDP16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 1054

The Authority addressed both aspects of the applicant's actual claims—fear of harm from specific individuals and general fear from Sinhalese due to Hindu religious activities. Since the Authority found those claims factually unsubstantiated or not well-founded, there was no need to separately consider whether a particular social group existed. No jurisdictional error was established.
