CVT15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1379

CVT15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1379

No jurisdictional error was established because the Tribunal did not ignore the Glendenning and Maley materials. It referred to those materials, put contradictory independent country information to the appellant, and made findings on their substance. The appellant's challenge was in substance a complaint about the weight given to that material, which was beyond the legitimate scope of judicial review.
