Mohiuddin v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCA 511

Mohiuddin v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCA 511

Leave to appeal was refused because the appellant did not establish that the primary judge's decision was attended by sufficient doubt. The primary judge had considered the appellant's submissions, and the Tribunal had considered the relevant matters put to it, including the appellant's family situation and his father's illness. The Tribunal's conclusion that the father's illness did not explain the appellant's failure to study from April 2015 to June 2016 was plainly open on the material before it. No specific legal error by the Tribunal or the primary judge was identified.
