CYG16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 433

CYG16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 433

The Federal Circuit Court made no appealable error because the Tribunal considered the matters relied on by the appellant, including his relationship with the sponsor, the sponsor's medical evidence, his claimed role concerning the sponsor's daughter, and conditions in Egypt, and it was open to the Tribunal to conclude that those matters did not amount to compelling reasons for not applying the Sch 3 criteria. The appellant's grounds were disagreements with the merits of the Tribunal's decision and did not establish jurisdictional error or bias.
