SZCLP v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 1875

The appellant advanced no submissions in support of the appeal and provided no particulars for the assertions in the notice of appeal. Scarlett FM had dealt with all grounds raised before the Federal Magistrates Court, and nothing on the face of those reasons suggested error. Emmett J was therefore not persuaded that there was any error by Scarlett FM, so the appeal was dismissed with costs.
