SZBOB v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 845

SZBOB v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 845

The appeal was dismissed because the Court detected no jurisdictional error by the Refugee Review Tribunal and no error by the Federal Magistrate. The Federal Magistrate did not deny procedural fairness by refusing the adjournment, as the proposed further material went to the merits of the appellant's protection claims rather than to whether the Tribunal had made jurisdictional error.
