JUDGE: EMMETT J
DATE: 19 MAY 1999
PLACE: SYDNEY
EX TEMPORE REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 The Applicant is a 37 year old married man from Somalia. He arrived in Australia on 8 October 1998 and applied for a protection visa on 15 October 1998. A delegate of the Minister refused that application on 19 November 1998 and the Applicant applied for a review of that decision by the Refugee Review Tribunal ("the Tribunal") on 25 November 1998. On 19 February 1999, the Tribunal confirmed the decision of the Minister's delegate. The Applicant has brought an application to this Court for a review of the decision of the Tribunal. That application was filed on 12 March 1999. 2 In his amended application of 11 May 1999, the Applicant specified the grounds of the application in the following terms: "The decision involved an error of law, being an error involving the incorrect interpretation of the applicable law or an error involving the incorrect application of the law to the facts as found by the Tribunal. Particulars: (a) the Tribunal incorrectly applied the law in relation to Refugees Convention based persecution, (b) the Tribunal incorrectly applied the law on the question of whether or not the Applicant had a well founded fear of persecution."
