MZYOI v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 868

MZYOI v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 868

The procedural fairness requirements were satisfied, as the IMR conducted a fully fresh determination and clearly apprised the appellant that all claims were in issue. The country information relevant to the appellant's claims was sufficiently put to him. No failure to consider a relevant claim or integer regarding state protection was established. The IMR's findings distinguishing strategic from Convention-based harm were rational and within the bounds of reasonable fact-finding given the evidence. The Federal Magistrate did not misconstrue the IMR's findings nor err on jurisdictional grounds. No jurisdictional error was shown.
