CYN18 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2020] FCA 320

CYN18 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2020] FCA 320

Leave to raise the proposed appeal grounds was refused because the grounds were new and lacked sufficient merit: the Authority had considered the appellant's claims, its reasoning did not disclose relevant illogicality or irrationality, it was not obliged by the Act to conduct an investigation, and it followed the applicable Pt 7AA procedures. The additional written submissions did not identify a meritorious ground because ss 424A and 424AA did not apply to the Authority and factual merits arguments had no place on judicial review or appeal.
