SZAHH v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 810

SZAHH v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 810

The delegate's decision had already been reviewed by the Tribunal, so the Tribunal correctly determined that it had no jurisdiction to conduct a further review of that decision. The judicial review application therefore had no reasonable prospect of success, and leave to appeal was dismissed.

Procedural Posture

Application for Leave to Appeal From a Federal Magistrates Court Judgment Dismissing an Application for Judicial Review of a Refugee Review Tribunal Decision / Leave to Appeal

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether leave should be granted to appeal from the Federal Magistrates Court judgment dismissing judicial review of the second Refugee Review Tribunal decision.' "Whether the Refugee Review Tribunal had jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision after that decision had already been reviewed by the Tribunal." 'Whether the application before the Federal Magistrates Court had no reasonable prospect of success.']

The delegate's decision had already been reviewed by the Tribunal, so the Tribunal correctly determined that it had no jurisdiction to conduct a further review of that decision. The judicial review application therefore had no reasonable prospect of success, and leave to appeal was dismissed.

Application for leave to appeal dismissed, with costs payable by the applicant to the first respondent.

Orders
