GRIFFITHS J:
1 This appeal was heard at the same time as the related appeal in AZAFG by her litigation guardian Sister Mary Symonds RSM v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 81 (AZAFG). The appellant is the older sister of AZAFG. As noted in AZAFG, the relevant facts in the two appeals are substantially similar and the same submissions were made on behalf of both appellants.
2 For the reasons given in AZAFG, AZAFF’s appeal must also be dismissed. The Minister did not seek his costs.
I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Griffiths. |
