DNV16 v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1888

DNV16 v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1888

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not appear after being notified and served, warranting dismissal under r 36.75(1), and because review of the Tribunal's and primary judge's reasons disclosed no error in the primary judge's conclusion that the Tribunal made no jurisdictional error. The Tribunal had considered the claims advanced, rejected the premise that the appellant remained of ongoing interest to her ex-boyfriend, and any relocation or wealthy-family arguments did not establish jurisdictional error or procedural unfairness.
