MZAMC v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 662

MZAMC v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 662

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant identified no appellable error in the Federal Circuit Court's conclusion that the Tribunal's decision was not affected by jurisdictional error. The Tribunal had considered the appellant's health, employment and Brazil violence claims under the protection and complementary protection criteria, and no substantiated bias, procedural unfairness, or failure to consider material was shown. The unparticularised Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities ground was not raised below and had insufficient prospects to justify leave.

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the Federal Circuit Court erred in failing to discern jurisdictional error in the Refugee Review Tribunal's decision." "Whether the Tribunal failed to properly consider the appellant's health claims under s 36(2)(a) and s 36(2)(aa) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth)." "Whether the Tribunal's decision or the Federal Circuit Court proceeding was affected by procedural unfairness, including actual bias or failure to consider supporting evidence and documentation." 'Whether leave should be granted to raise an unparticularised ground alleging violation of rights under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.']
