MZZBG v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 503

MZZBG v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 503

No jurisdictional error or breach of s 424A of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) occurred, as the information relied upon was either provided by the applicant or excluded by statute; the Tribunal provided the appellant with ample opportunity to address inconsistencies, and its overall approach was procedurally fair. There was thus no legal basis for interfering with the orders of the primary judge.
