Procedural Posture

Appeal From the Federal Circuit Court of Australia Dismissing an Application for Judicial Review of a Refugee Review Tribunal Decision Concerning a Protection Visa / Federal Court Appeal

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the Refugee Review Tribunal committed jurisdictional error in affirming the refusal of the appellant's protection visa application."

"Whether the appellant's arguments impermissibly sought merits review rather than identifying jurisdictional error."]

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed with costs.
