SZHQC v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 1968

The applicant identified no error by Barnes FM in dismissing his second Federal Magistrates Court application as having no reasonable prospects of success and as an attempt to reagitate matters already dealt with in prior proceedings. The grounds advanced were misconceived, the new matters about Mumbai were irrelevant to the Tribunal decision under review, the Décor test for leave was not satisfied, and no substantial injustice would result from refusing leave.
