Ali v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1895

Ali v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1895

The Tribunal did not misconstrue Direction No. 65, did not shownly apply an impermissible balance of probabilities standard, did not commit jurisdictional error in assessing community expectations or expressing its ultimate conclusion, and its evaluative assessment of the other considerations and impediments on removal was open and not legally unreasonable. Accordingly both grounds of review failed and the amended originating application was dismissed.

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the Tribunal misconstrued Direction No. 65 by considering domestic violence and driving offending when assessing the strength, nature and duration of ties to Australia under [14.2(1)].'

"Whether the Tribunal's assessment of other considerations, including impediments on removal to Fiji and financial resources, was legally unreasonable."]
