Wet052 V Republic of NauruHigh Court of Australia
Judgment Date:
2018-10-17
Abstract:
The High Court of Australia (HCA) has unanimously dismissed the appeal against the decision of the Supreme Court of Nauru (NRSC) that affirmed the refusal of the appellant's application for recognition as refugee pursuant to (NR) Refugees Convention Act 2012. The HCA found that appellant had not advanced the adverse political profile claim before the Refugee Status Review Tribunal (RSRT), and therefore it was not necessary for the RSRT to have considered it. The HCA also found that the RSRT had considered the failed asylum seeker claim, and that the RSRT's conclusion was open to it.
