Kumar v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2011] FCA 1332

The appellant did not identify any error in the Federal Magistrates Court's judgment. The grounds of appeal merely repeated grounds rejected below, and the Tribunal had considered the incorrect answers, the appellant's admissions and explanations, discretionary considerations, and the circumstances of the appellant's wife and son. No jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's decision was shown, so the appeal was dismissed with costs.
