SZGPT v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 1829

SZGPT v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 1829

Leave to appeal was refused because the Applicant said nothing showing that the Federal Magistrate's decision was attended with sufficient doubt or that substantial injustice would result if leave were refused. The Federal Magistrate had correctly applied principles of res judicata, estoppel and abuse of process to dismiss the fresh judicial review proceedings, and the present application was totally without merit.
