DSU16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 128

DSU16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 128

The appeal was dismissed because the primary judge made no error of law in rejecting the grounds of judicial review. The documents not provided to the Authority under s 473CB(1)(c) were irrelevant to the Authority's review function in this case; procedural fairness was afforded, and the Authority's factual findings were open to it. No jurisdictional error or denial of procedural fairness occurred.
