NABE v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs (No 2) [2004] FCAFC 263

NABE v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs (No 2) [2004] FCAFC 263

The Tribunal's factual error about the appellant's involvement with PLOTE, while unfortunate and potentially affecting the outcome, did not constitute jurisdictional error because the alleged claim of lack of State protection against PLOTE persecution was not sufficiently articulated or clearly raised by evidence before the Tribunal. Therefore, the appeal must be dismissed.
