SZJYZ v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 1198

SZJYZ v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 1198

The appellant’s claims were not accepted as credible by the Tribunal, and his fear was not for a Convention reason. The Tribunal had not committed jurisdictional error, nor had the Federal Magistrate, and there was no failure to comply with s 424A of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). The appeal was dismissed because none of the errors asserted were made out.
