DDB16 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 880

DDB16 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 880

The application was dismissed because the Federal Circuit Court took the correct approach by considering whether the proposed judicial review ground was arguable, and neither the unparticularised ground nor anything said by the applicant identified an arguable jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's decision. The Tribunal had assessed the applicant's claims carefully, by setting them out in detail, measuring them against country information and evaluating them against the applicant's evidence, and was entitled within jurisdiction to reach its conclusion.
