MZYUK v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 1284

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant identified no particular appealable error by the Federal Magistrate and none was apparent. The Federal Magistrate had considered the grounds before her, and the Tribunal's adverse credibility findings and reliance on country information were open on the evidence; the complaints about risk assessment, credibility and bias did not establish jurisdictional error.
