CJA16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 568

The application for leave to appeal was dismissed because the applicant failed to attend the hearing, having departed Australia, and in any event did not demonstrate any jurisdictional error in the primary judge's decision or in the Tribunal's processes. The grounds advanced were unparticularised and lacked merit, and the statutory requirements regarding procedural fairness were not enlivened on the facts.
