SZGID v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 1526

The Tribunal did not commit jurisdictional error in its treatment of the appellant's claims regarding risk of harm or protection in Lagos as opposed to Kaduna. The Tribunal's assessment of the evidence was reasonable given the lack of corroborating material and the appellant's focus on Lagos. The Federal Magistrate was correct in dismissing the application for judicial review.
