XSLJ v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2021] FCA 1138

XSLJ v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2021] FCA 1138

The application for judicial review was dismissed as the Tribunal did not commit jurisdictional error. All grounds of review failed: no procedural unfairness occurred, relevant findings were based on evidence or permissible inferences, and the Tribunal correctly apprehended and applied the law, including the requirements of s 501CA(4) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) and Direction no. 79. The Tribunal's reasoning was open, rational, and did not exceed its authority.
