MZYEY v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2010] FCA 527

The claims of bias and denial of procedural fairness were unsupported and misconceived; the Tribunal was not bound by previous decisions involving similar claims and had valid reasons for rejecting the appellant’s evidence. The Federal Magistrate found no jurisdictional error and gave careful reasons for decision; thus, no appellable error was disclosed and the appeal must be dismissed.
