DDY17 v Minister For Home Affairs [2019] FCA 165

DDY17 v Minister For Home Affairs [2019] FCA 165

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not identify any recognised ground of jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's adverse credibility findings. Those findings, which led the Tribunal to reject the appellant's protection claims and find no well-founded fear of persecution or real risk of significant harm, were reasonably open on the material, and the primary judge did not err in dismissing the application.
