CSF17 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 569

CSF17 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 569

Leave to adduce fresh evidence and leave to amend grounds of appeal were refused because the procedural requirements had not been met, no sufficient merit or materiality was established, and the proposed evidence and grounds would not realistically have led to a different result. The appeal was dismissed as the Immigration Assessment Authority did not commit jurisdictional error in its application of s 473DD of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth).
