CPE15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 591

The only proposed new ground pressed by the appellant did not have conspicuous apparent strength; the Tribunal's reasons, read as a whole, were sufficiently comprehensive and subsumed the issue of the impact of withdrawal of international forces. There was no jurisdictional error established. Leave to rely on the new ground was refused and the appeal dismissed.
