SZAHM v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2004] FCA 683

SZAHM v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2004] FCA 683

The appeal was dismissed because the first three grounds disclosed no proper basis for intervention, the s 424A jurisdictional error ground lacked particularity and in any event concerned general country information falling within subs 424A(3), and the appellant's real difficulty arose from his failure to provide further information or attend the Tribunal hearing rather than any reviewable error.
