DVP16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 539

DVP16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 539

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant failed to identify any crucial legal issue overlooked by the Federal Circuit Court, any denial of procedural fairness by that Court, or any basis for finding that the Tribunal denied procedural fairness or otherwise committed jurisdictional error. The Tribunal gave the appellant a meaningful and fair hearing, addressed the correct complementary protection criterion, applied the relevant law and principles, and gave rational and logical reasons based on the evidence. The primary judge comprehensively addressed the appellant's contentions and no appealable error was shown.
