VKTT v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2020] FCA 1437

The applicant was not denied procedural fairness because he was on notice regarding the Minister's challenge to the adequacy of his expert's evidence; he had the opportunity to supplement or present further evidence but chose not to do so. No practical injustice resulted from the AAT's reasoning, so the amended application for judicial review must be dismissed.
