EZF17 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 236

EZF17 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 236

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not identify any error in the reasons of the Federal Circuit Court judge or the Tribunal. The first ground failed because the Tribunal had made relevant findings, including that the appellant had a real chance of suffering serious harm in his home region but that his fear was not for a reason prescribed in the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). The second ground failed because the appellant did not identify any legal or factual error that the Federal Circuit Court judge failed to consider, and the Federal Circuit Court judge's task was to determine whether jurisdictional error by the Tribunal was revealed.
