SZKTV v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2008] FCA 275

SZKTV v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2008] FCA 275

The appeals were dismissed because the appellant could not identify any mistake by the Federal Magistrate and could not identify the adverse information said to enliven s 424A. The Federal Magistrate had found no arguable jurisdictional error, and specifically found that s 424A(1) did not apply because the Tribunal's decision turned on the inadequacy of the information provided after the appellant was invited to appear and present evidence and argument but did not do so.
