SZUXI v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 1475

SZUXI v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 1475

The appeal was dismissed because neither ground of appeal was made out. The Federal Circuit Court did not make the alleged findings that there were no arguable issues or no reasonable prospects of success; rather, it considered and rejected the pleaded grounds of review and additional arguments. No appellable error was otherwise apparent in the Federal Circuit Court's reasons.
