DKG16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1512

DKG16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1512

Leave to appeal was refused and the application dismissed because none of the applicant's grounds disclosed a reasonably arguable case that the Tribunal committed jurisdictional error or that the Federal Circuit Court erred in failing to find such error. The procedural fairness allegation was unsupported and contradicted by the applicant's attendance with an interpreter before the Federal Circuit Court, the alleged failure to assess country conditions was answered by the Tribunal's consideration of DFAT information about Jamaat-e-Islami and Bangladesh, and the remaining grounds were unparticularised or sought impermissible merits review.
