: What happens if someone fails to provide evidence for a claim of family violence in a migration application?

: If an applicant does not provide the necessary evidence, such as statutory declarations detailing claims of family violence, the Tribunal may find that the evidentiary requirements have not been met. As a result, there may be no relevant claims for the Tribunal to consider, which can lead to the dismissal of the application.

: Can a Tribunal's adverse decision imply bias against an applicant?

: No, an adverse decision by a Tribunal does not imply bias. To establish a claim of bias, there must be credible evidence showing that the Tribunal failed to approach the matter with an impartial mind. The mere fact of unfavorable findings is not sufficient to infer bias.

: What are the consequences of not responding to requests from a Tribunal during a visa application review?

: Failing to respond to requests for information from the Tribunal, especially when represented by a migration agent, may result in a finding of no procedural unfairness. The Tribunal may proceed without taking the applicant's claims into account due to the lack of evidence provided by the applicant.
