AZABZ v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2013] FCA 1402

AZABZ v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2013] FCA 1402

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant demonstrated no error in the primary Judge's conclusion that no jurisdictional error by the Tribunal had been shown. The Tribunal invited the appellant to appear and give evidence, the notice complied with the statutory requirements, and the appellant did not attend. The procedural fairness ground had not been raised before the primary Judge and in any event lacked substance. The other grounds were formulaic and unidentified, with no relevant considerations or constructive failure of jurisdiction specified.
