SZBBP v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCAFC 167

SZBBP v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCAFC 167

The RRT addressed the appellant's case that adequate state protection was denied to Christians in Egypt, considered the country information and submissions, and was entitled to find that Egypt provided adequate and effective protection against the kind of harm feared. The finding on state protection did not involve jurisdictional error, so the RRT did not err in affirming the delegate's decision and the appeal had to be dismissed.
