SZDQZ v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 130
The Tribunal complied with statutory requirements for notification by serving the authorised recipient and attempting personal service. There was no evidence or reason to require additional time or methods for notification. Procedural fairness did not require the Tribunal to give further notice of new information to an applicant who did not attend the scheduled hearing. The Federal Magistrate was correct to dismiss the appeal.
