MZYFJ v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2010] FCA 721

There was no breach of s 424A or failure to comply with procedural fairness as the Tribunal properly observed its obligations under s 424AA of the Migration Act, gave the appellant opportunity to respond, and no specific adverse information was identified as improperly used or undisclosed. The Tribunal made no jurisdictional error, and the Federal Magistrates Court was correct to dismiss the application. The appeal fails.
