EAJ18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 1057

EAJ18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 1057

The appeal was dismissed as the Authority's decision did not disclose jurisdictional error. The Authority was not required to seek new information, speculate about the possibility that the appellant's claims were true when it had no residual doubt, nor to interview the appellant further regarding credibility inconsistencies. The requirements respecting new information under s 473DD of the Migration Act were correctly applied. Leave to raise new appeal grounds was refused as they lacked merit.
