MZXQZ v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 1314

MZXQZ v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 1314

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not identify any error of law or jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's decision, and Justice Ryan could discern no appellable error in Riley FM's reasons dismissing the judicial review application. The appellant's concerns about safety in Fiji and need for more time in Australia were not matters available to the Court in its limited judicial review jurisdiction.
