SZFFY v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 1927

SZFFY v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 1927

The Tribunal did not commit jurisdictional error or deny procedural fairness as it complied with statutory requirements, provided adequate opportunity for the appellant to attend, and made its decision in the appellant's absence in accordance with the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). The appeal thus fails as there is no reviewable error.
