SZCNP v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1140

SZCNP v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1140

The appellant had adopted the information contained in his original protection visa application through the Tribunal review application, which referred to the documents and evidence already provided. On that basis, assuming the Tribunal used positive information rather than mere omissions, the information was within s 424A(3)(b) as information given by the appellant for the purpose of the review application, so s 424A(1) was not breached. No error of law or principle was demonstrated in the Tribunal's decision or the Federal Magistrate's decision.
