SZQRD v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2012] FCA 874

The Tribunal's reasons showed that it considered the appellants' claims in considerable detail and in accordance with the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), there was nothing to suggest that it overlooked or misapplied s 91R or acted manifestly unreasonably, and the appellants did not identify any requirement of the Act with which the Tribunal failed to comply.
