SZIIZ v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1448

SZIIZ v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1448

The appeal was dismissed because the grounds of appeal did not identify any error in the Federal Magistrate's judgment, the appellant's submissions merely expanded on the factual basis for his protection visa claim and sought to introduce fresh material, and the Federal Magistrate's decision was conventional and properly recognised the difficulty caused by the appellant's failure to attend the Tribunal hearing.
