NAVK v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs & Anor [2005] FCAFC 124

The Tribunal either did not fail to consider a distinct claim by the applicant, or, if it did, its rejection of the claim was not jurisdictionally erroneous because the claim was unsupported by probative material and the Tribunal was entitled to reject it. There was no basis to disturb the primary judge's factual inferences or conclusion that there was no jurisdictional error. The appeal should be dismissed.
