SZFQW v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1547

SZFQW v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1547

Barnes FM correctly held that the Tribunal's decision was based on the inadequacy of the appellant's claims and materials, not on information requiring disclosure under s 424A(1) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). The material before the Court did not disclose reviewable error in the Federal Magistrates Court decision, so the appeal was dismissed.
