SZUZK v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 498

SZUZK v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 498

The Tribunal and the primary judge did not err in law or jurisdiction in their assessment of the appellants’ claims. The Tribunal appropriately considered the claims of both appellants, including the wife’s claims relating to religious, political, and social group status, and found no evidence of real risk of significant harm. The lack of intention in any risk faced and the absence of binding obligations regarding vulnerable persons’ guidelines were determinative. No appellable or jurisdictional errors were shown on either ground of appeal.
