SZIMB v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1405

Leave to appeal was refused because the Federal Magistrates Court's interlocutory judgment was not attended with doubt, no substantial injustice would arise from refusing leave, the Tribunal was entitled under s 426A to determine the matter in the applicant's absence after sending an invitation to his nominated address for service, and the applicant's vague and unparticularised claims did not disclose an arguable jurisdictional error or breach of s 424A.
