FYL18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCA 200

FYL18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCA 200

The Application for leave to appeal was refused as the grounds advanced by the Applicant merely challenged the merits of the Tribunal's and Court's decisions. No jurisdictional error or legal error was identified, and there was no sufficient doubt as to the correctness of the decision nor any substantial injustice that would justify granting leave. The lump sum costs order was found to be fair and reasonable in the circumstances.
