Applicant S409 of 2003 v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2007] FCA 331

Leave to appeal was not required because the Federal Magistrates Court dismissal was a final order. The appeal failed because the appellant identified no appealable error by Lloyd-Jones FM and the Court was not persuaded that the Refugee Review Tribunal failed to consider material, ignored any relevant consideration, denied procedural fairness, was biased, or otherwise committed jurisdictional error.
