Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the Refugee Review Tribunal decision was affected by jurisdictional error so that s 474 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) did not preclude review' "Whether the Tribunal member's alleged comments gave rise to actual or ostensible bias" 'Whether the applicant was disadvantaged by alleged advice concerning skilled migration as a chef' 'Whether bare assertions of failure to consider merits, denial of natural justice, bad faith, improper exercise of power and error of law disclosed reviewable error']

Because no jurisdictional error was shown, s 474 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) precluded review and the application was dismissed.
