XGHJ v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2023] FCA 772

XGHJ v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2023] FCA 772

The applicant did not establish any pleaded or unpleaded ground of judicial review. His procedural fairness contentions were unsupported by evidence and no prejudice was shown; the Tribunal had considered Ms Bostock's report, the applicant's medical issues, treatment available in Korea, and the impact on his family; and the Tribunal's findings about remorse and risk were open on the evidence. The application was therefore dismissed.
