SZBJQ v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 1346
The appeal was dismissed because the appellant’s case failed before the RRT on credibility grounds, and no jurisdictional error or denial of procedural fairness was demonstrated. The appellant’s reliance on Muin and Lie was misplaced, as the factual circumstances differed and the necessary substratum for a procedural fairness finding was not established.
