SZBUD v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 527

SZBUD v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 527

Leave to appeal was refused and the application dismissed because the Federal Magistrates Court application did not disclose any reasonable cause of action or particularised ground of judicial review. The applicants' materials sought merits reconsideration or raised unsupported allegations of bias, natural justice breach and similarity to Muin, and no error of law or principle by the magistrate was shown. An adjournment would not assist because further factual material would not establish a judicial review ground.

Procedural Posture

Migration; Application for Leave to Appeal From Dismissal of Federal Magistrates Court Judicial Review Application / Application for Leave to Appeal

Legal Issues
