CGK17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2022] FCA 1099

CGK17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2022] FCA 1099

Leave to raise a new ground of appeal not advanced below was refused because the appellant did not provide an adequate explanation for the failure to raise it in the Federal Circuit Court, was legally represented, and the proposed ground was of doubtful merit. The statutory scheme governing the Immigration Assessment Authority restricts procedural fairness and permits reliance on new information not specifically about the referred applicant without inviting comment, so the IAA's actions were not legally unreasonable.

Ratio Decidendi

The statutory scheme governing the Immigration Assessment Authority restricts procedural fairness and permits reliance on new information not specifically about the referred applicant without inviting comment, so the IAA's actions were not legally unreasonable.
