SZIYF v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 132

SZIYF v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 132

Leave to appeal was refused because the Federal Magistrate's decision was not attended with sufficient doubt. The s 424A letter complied with s 424A in relation to the business visa information and other matters arguably forming part of the Tribunal's reasons, and nothing showed arguable error in the Magistrate's conclusion that the Tribunal did not need to further consider the s 91R claim after finding the applicant's claims fabricated or that the Tribunal otherwise committed jurisdictional error.
