HSCK v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FCA 313

HSCK v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FCA 313

The Tribunal did not commit jurisdictional error because the facts and concessions before it did not establish the constitutional limitation under NZYQ; its treatment of medical evidence regarding the applicant's likely intellectual disability or acquired brain injury was accurate as no diagnosis was made; and its approach to overlapping considerations in the weighing exercise accorded with relevant authority, rendering dismissal of the application appropriate.
