SZJEV v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2007] FCA 1880

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not demonstrate that Barnes FM erred in concluding that no jurisdictional error had been established. The Tribunal had considered the appellant's claims, accepted his factual claims, but found that the harm feared was motivated by financial gain rather than a Convention reason and that relocation within India was reasonable.
