Khelifi v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2000] FCA 791

Khelifi v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2000] FCA 791

The applicant did not establish that interpreting difficulties involved significant errors denying him the opportunity under s 425(1) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), and the matters relied on did not provide cogent material establishing actual bias. The Tribunal considered the claims, made findings of fact on the material before it and gave reasons, so no ground for review under s 476 was established.
