SZJLP v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 181

SZJLP v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 181

The appeal failed because the appellants did not establish that the Tribunal relied on undisclosed adverse information as defined by s 424A of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth); the Tribunal’s reasoning about credibility and threats did not constitute ‘information’ requiring disclosure; there was no jurisdictional error, so the appeal must be dismissed.
