CFE17 v Minister for Immigration & Border Protection [2019] FCA 1156

CFE17 v Minister for Immigration & Border Protection [2019] FCA 1156

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not establish appealable error in the primary judge's decision. Her grounds sought to revisit adverse factual findings and conclusions of the delegate and Tribunal, but the Federal Circuit Court's role was confined to jurisdictional error and an appeal by way of rehearing required correction of error in the primary judge's findings or conclusions. The Tribunal's reasons showed it considered the appellant's evidence, questioned her about her claims, and considered country information; none of the grounds had merit.
