Abedi v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2002] FCAFC 43; [2002] FCA 208

The appeal was dismissed because the Full Court agreed with Hely J's reasoning, found that his Honour's reasons disclosed no error, and held that the appellant's grounds and oral submissions essentially challenged the merits and factual credibility assessment underlying the Refugee Review Tribunal's lack of satisfaction that he was an Afghan national entitled to a protection visa.
