SZJDB v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2007] FCA 176

SZJDB v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2007] FCA 176

The appeal was dismissed on the basis that the application to the Federal Magistrates Court was out of time, as actual notification of the Tribunal's decision was found to have occurred before 1 December 2005, and the appellant did not challenge this factual finding. Alleged non-compliance by the Tribunal and conduct by the migration agent did not constitute jurisdictional error.
