Nozarpour v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2001] FCA 1249

Nozarpour v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2001] FCA 1249

The Tribunal's reasons disclosed no incorrect interpretation or application of the applicable law. On the Tribunal's findings, the only conclusion reasonably open was that it was not satisfied the applicant was a person to whom Australia had protection obligations and therefore he did not satisfy s 36 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). There was also an evidentiary basis for the Tribunal's conclusions, so the no-evidence ground under s 476(1)(g) was not made out.
