The Federal Court of Australia ruled that the lower court committed a jurisdictional error by failing to address specific country information regarding violence in Oromia, Ethiopia, during an extension-of-time application. The court emphasized that judges must genuinely engage with substantial submissions and current country reports when assessing the merits of a protection visa review. The matter has been remitted for rehearing before a different judge.
