SZLXL v Minister for Immigration [2008] FCA 1084

SZLXL v Minister for Immigration [2008] FCA 1084

Leave to appeal was refused because the Court detected no error in the Federal Magistrate's reasons for dismissing the judicial review application. The Tribunal's adverse credibility assessment was a matter for the Tribunal, and the Federal Magistrate had rationally concluded that the Tribunal had abundant reasons for disbelieving the applicant husband. The applicants therefore failed to show sufficient doubt in the correctness of the Federal Magistrate's decision to justify leave.
