EAU17 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2019] FCA 2086

EAU17 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2019] FCA 2086

There was no breach of s 91X of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) by the Federal Circuit Court as it did not publish the appellant's name, and even if there had been such a breach, it would not amount to jurisdictional error warranting relief; leave to raise new grounds was refused as the second ground lacked merit as the IAA had adequately considered the relevant evidence and the legislative and factual criteria for protection.
