DYX17 v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1377

DYX17 v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1377

The proposed new ground of appeal was misconceived and had no prospects of success. The primary judge did not make the alleged finding that the appellant would have access to basic health care in Vietnam on the basis of Vietnamese citizenship, and the Tribunal's findings that the appellant was a Vietnamese national, could restore nationality if necessary, obtain household registration and access basic services and medical treatment were supported by country information and disclosed no apparent lack of logic or legal error. Leave to rely on the new ground was refused and, there being no other ground, the appeal was dismissed with costs.

Procedural Posture

Appeal From Federal Circuit Court Judicial Review Decision Concerning Refusal of a Protection Visa / Appeal Dismissed

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether leave should be granted to advance a new ground of appeal not raised as a ground of judicial review in the Federal Circuit Court.' "Whether the Federal Circuit Court erred in relation to findings about the appellant's access to basic health care in Vietnam on the basis of Vietnamese citizenship or nationality." "Whether the Tribunal's findings that the appellant was a Vietnamese national, could obtain household registration, and could access medical treatment in Vietnam involved legal error or denial of procedural fairness."]

Ratio Decidendi

The proposed new ground of appeal was misconceived and had no prospects of success. The primary judge did not make the alleged finding that the appellant would have access to basic health care in Vietnam on the basis of Vietnamese citizenship, and the Tribunal's findings that the appellant was a Vietnamese national, could restore nationality if necessary, obtain household registration and access basic services and medical treatment were supported by country information and disclosed no apparent lack of logic or legal error. Leave to rely on the new ground was refused and, there being no other ground, the appeal was dismissed with costs.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed with costs; leave to rely upon the new ground of appeal not granted.

Orders

  • ['The appeal be dismissed.' 'The appellant pay the costs of the first respondent, to be assessed if not agreed.']
