CLL16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 348

CLL16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 348

There was no jurisdictional error because the relocation issue had been raised before and addressed by the appellant, including in his initial statement and during the delegate's interview, so the Authority was not legally unreasonable in failing to consider exercising its discretionary power under s 473DC(3). The Authority's reasons also showed that it considered the appellant's claims as a failed asylum seeker and illegal returnee, so no integer of the claim was overlooked.

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the Immigration Assessment Authority breached s 473DC of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) by failing to put information regarding relocation in Sri Lanka to the appellant for comment.' "Whether the Authority committed jurisdictional error by failing to consider all integers of the appellant's claims concerning membership of a particular social group, including as a failed asylum seeker and illegal returnee."]

Ratio Decidendi

The Authority's reasons also showed that it considered the appellant's claims as a failed asylum seeker and illegal returnee, so no integer of the claim was overlooked.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed.

Orders
