SZACX v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2004] FCA 97

SZACX v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2004] FCA 97

The motion to set aside the dismissal failed because the appellant did not demonstrate an arguable case that the appeal should be allowed. His grounds were general, and examination of the claims showed beyond reasonable argument that all important claims made by the appellant had been addressed by the RRT, so no denial of natural justice was shown.
