SZDIZ v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 1809

After scrutinising the appellant's statements supporting his visa application and Tribunal review application, the Court found no failure by the Tribunal to consider the claims and issues put forward. The Federal Magistrate's judgment disclosed no error. Because the sole ground of appeal raised issues not argued below and had no prospect of success, leave to advance it should be refused and the appeal dismissed.
