SZRJN v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1025

SZRJN v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1025

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant's grounds were general and unparticularised and did not establish appealable error by the primary judge or jurisdictional error by the Tribunal. Section 91R was irrelevant to the appellant's second protection visa application because it concerned the refugee criterion in s 36(2)(a), whereas the second application was confined to the complementary protection and family unit criteria in ss 36(2)(aa) and 36(2)(c). The appellant did not demonstrate that the Tribunal's reasons lacked an evident and intelligible justification or were legally unreasonable.

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the Tribunal failed to comply with ss 424A or 424AA of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth).'

'Whether the primary judge failed to consider legal and factual errors in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal decision.'

The appellant did not demonstrate that the Tribunal's reasons lacked an evident and intelligible justification or were legally unreasonable.
