The Tribunal's decision was not affected by jurisdictional error nor was procedural fairness denied to the appellant; the Tribunal complied with the procedural provisions of the Migration Act and afforded the appellant a fair hearing, and the specific information excluded under s 424A(3)(a) did not trigger a procedural fairness breach. The case was not governed by the decision in SZSSJ, as materially different circumstances applied.
