GAU18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCA 108

GAU18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCA 108

Leave to raise a new argument on appeal is refused because the appellant was legally represented and the new ground was not raised below. Even if leave were granted, the alleged illogicality in the Authority's reasoning does not rise to the level of legal unreasonableness or jurisdictional error. The appeal must therefore be dismissed.
