SZJJU v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 726

SZJJU v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 726

The appeal was dismissed because no jurisdictional error or other error of law was shown. The Tribunal's adverse credibility findings meant it did not accept the appellant's factual claims; the alleged s 424A breach had no substance because the relevant information fell within statutory exceptions and the section did not require draft findings; s 91R was not engaged in the way alleged; and the claims of bias and failure to consider claims lacked substance.
