MZAGZ v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 1193

MZAGZ v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 1193

Although the eight-day delay was adequately explained and caused no prejudice, the application was dismissed because the proposed appeal lacked merit. The material did not show error in the Federal Circuit Court's conclusion that the Tribunal could find that a relatively short period of detention on return to Sri Lanka would not amount to significant harm or satisfy the requirements for complementary protection.
