CPP18 v Minister for Home Affairs

The applicant, CPP18, sought judicial review of a decision made by the Immigration Assessment Authority (IAA) concerning their application for a Safe Haven Enterprise visa. The core of the dispute revolved around whether the IAA had adequately considered and engaged with the applicant's claims and submissions, and whether it had correctly applied relevant provisions of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth).

The court was required to determine whether the IAA had misconceived or failed to genuinely engage with the applicant's claims, and whether it had erred in its application of section 473DD of the *Migration Act 1958*. A further issue was whether the IAA had failed to take into account relevant country information when assessing the application.

Justice Street found that the IAA had engaged in a real and genuine consideration of the applicant's claims and submissions. The court concluded that the IAA had not erred in its application of section 473DD of the Act, nor had it failed to consider relevant country information. Consequently, no jurisdictional error was made out.

The application for judicial review was dismissed.
