Procedural Posture

Migration Law Appeal / Appeal From a Judgment of a Federal Magistrate Dismissing an Application to Review a Decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the Federal Magistrate erred in finding that there was no evidence to support the appellant's claim that the second Tribunal said it did not understand why the matter had been remitted after the first Tribunal hearing." "Whether the appellant identified any appealable error in the Federal Magistrate's judgment." "Whether the appellant's other points impermissibly invited merits review rather than identifying jurisdictional error."]

The only ground of appeal required evidentiary support, but no evidence going to that ground had been tendered before the Federal Magistrate; the appellant's remaining points invited merits review and did not establish appealable error. The appeal was therefore dismissed with costs.
