EPE19 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2023] FCA 170

EPE19 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2023] FCA 170

No jurisdictional error by the Immigration Assessment Authority was established; the Authority duly considered the applicant's claims and evidence. The grounds amounted to disagreement with factual findings. The requirements for leave to appeal—sufficient doubt as to the correctness of the decision and potential substantial injustice—were not met; thus, the application was dismissed with costs.
