SZJJV v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 767

SZJJV v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 767

The appellant did not demonstrate any error in the Federal Magistrate's judgment. His s 424A contention misapprehended the Tribunal's duty, and no particulars were provided to support the allegation that the Tribunal failed reasonably to assess the claimed persecution if he returned to China. The Federal Magistrate's reasoning concerning the Tribunal's view that adverse consequences on return to China would not engage the Refugees Convention was not shown to be wrong.
