COE16 v Minister for Immigration

The applicant, COE16, sought judicial review of a decision by the Immigration Assessment Authority (Authority) affirming a delegate's refusal to grant a Safe Haven Enterprise visa. The application was brought under section 476 of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth). The Federal Circuit Court of Australia heard the matter.

The central legal issues before the Court were whether the Authority had failed to consider new information provided by the applicant, and whether the Authority had failed to consider relevant country information. These questions were framed within the context of whether such failures constituted a jurisdictional error.

The Court considered the provisions of section 473DD of the *Migration Act*, which outlines the scope of information the Authority may consider. His Honour found that the applicant had not demonstrated that the Authority failed to consider the information provided, nor that it failed to consider country information. Consequently, no jurisdictional error was established.

The application for judicial review was dismissed.
