DQS19 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2021] FCA 675

The appeal is dismissed because the IAA did not commit a jurisdictional error; although the statutory framework requires consideration of s 473DD(b)(i) and (ii) before s 473DD(a), the IAA sufficiently addressed relevant factors, and any deficiency was not material to the outcome of the review.
