Gupta v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1004

Gupta v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1004

The appeal was dismissed as the grounds challenged factual findings which are not subject to review unless jurisdictional error is established, which was not the case. Procedural fairness obligations under s 359A were not breached because the information at issue was already provided by the appellant. The Tribunal's reliance on PRISMS and its refusal to make further inquiries did not amount to jurisdictional error.
