Khoury v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2000] FCA 733

Khoury v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2000] FCA 733

The Tribunal did not commit an error of law in its assessment of whether Lebanon could provide effective protection to the applicants; the Tribunal addressed the issue appropriately based on the claims and evidence presented, and was not required to investigate further the risk of having to live in a Palestinian refugee camp as this matter was not genuinely advanced by the applicants. The Tribunal also did not err in considering claims sequentially, and provided adequate reasons as required by law.
