SZUOB v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 752

SZUOB v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 752

There was no jurisdictional error or appellable error found in the decision of the Federal Circuit Court or the Tribunal. The applicant's grounds for extension of time and leave to appeal lacked merit as the Tribunal properly considered the evidence, including the psychologist report, and assessed credibility, and the Federal Circuit Court was correct in dismissing the application. Consequently, extension of time and leave to appeal were refused.
