P v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2000] FCA 543

P v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2000] FCA 543

The applicant's complaints challenged factual findings that the Tribunal was entitled to make on the evidence, including findings that he could be sponsored to re-enter Syria and that he could obtain effective protection by relocating to northern Iraq. The material relied on by the Tribunal had been sent to the applicant and his solicitor for comment. No reviewable error was disclosed, so there was no basis to interfere with the Tribunal's decision.
