MZZER v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2013] FCA 1244
The Tribunal did not misconstrue the real chance test, and its reasoning—balancing the relevant country information about group-based extortion and the individual circumstances and lack of past harm to the appellant—was sufficient to lawfully conclude that the appellant did not have a well-founded fear of persecution on the basis of his membership of the particular social group. No relevant jurisdictional error occurred.
