Ayi18 v Minister for Immigration

This matter concerned an application for judicial review of a decision made by the Immigration Assessment Authority (IAA) in relation to an application for Safe Haven Enterprise visas. The applicant, Ayi18, sought to challenge the IAA's findings.

The central legal issues before the Court were whether the IAA's findings were legally unreasonable and whether the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) country information relied upon by the IAA was unreliable. The applicant contended that these issues constituted jurisdictional error.

Judge Street found that no jurisdictional error had been identified. The Court concluded that the IAA's decision was not legally unreasonable and that the DFAT country information considered was not demonstrably unreliable to the point of vitiating the decision. Accordingly, the application was dismissed.
