EQO17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 167

EQO17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 167

Leave to appeal was refused because the Federal Circuit Court's decision was not attended with sufficient doubt. The Authority had repeatedly found that the applicant would not be imputed with an LTTE profile or considered to have supplied information, goods or weapons to the LTTE, and it had regard to country information. The applicant did not identify any error in the Federal Circuit Court's reasons, nor any country information the Authority failed to consider, and no jurisdictional error was discerned.
