Procedural Posture

Migration Appeal Concerning Refusal of Protection Visa / Motion to Dismiss Appeal as Abuse of Process and Application for Leave to Amend Notice of Appeal, on Appeal From the Federal Magistrates Court

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the appeal should be dismissed as an abuse of process.' 'Whether leave should be granted to amend the notice of appeal to raise grounds not advanced before the Federal Magistrate.' "Whether the Tribunal constructively failed to exercise jurisdiction by failing to consider an essential integer of the appellant's claim." 'Whether the Tribunal acted in a manifestly unreasonable or illogical manner or addressed the wrong issue.']

Ratio Decidendi

Leave to amend was refused and the appeal dismissed because the proposed grounds raised no arguable error of law or principle: no material showed that the appellant had made the alleged essential claim to the Tribunal, and the Tribunal's findings about whether the appellant's private remarks had been reported to Jordanian authorities and whether they would expose him to persecution were factual findings that were not shown to be illogical or legally erroneous.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed with costs; leave to amend the grounds refused.

Orders

  • ['The appeal be dismissed.' 'The appellant pay the costs of the respondent.']
