SZJEH v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2007] FCA 1706

SZJEH v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2007] FCA 1706

The appeal was dismissed because no jurisdictional error or legal error was shown in Emmett FM's conclusion that the Tribunal carefully considered the appellant's claims and complied with its statutory obligations. The matters relied on by the appellant were not information enlivening s 424A(1), but concerned the Tribunal's appraisal of evidence or gaps and defects in the evidence, and credibility findings were for the Tribunal absent jurisdictional error.
