DNQ17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1781

DNQ17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1781

There was no jurisdictional error or inadequacy in the IAA's reasons. The IAA was not required to refer to every piece of evidence, dealt with the material before it, and gave adequate reasons for its findings. There was insufficient similarity between the appellant's and his brother's cases to found a claim of inconsistent or unreasonable decision-making. The appeal grounds lacked merit; leave to amend was refused and the appeal dismissed.
