SZKED v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2007] FCA 1206

The Notice of Appeal did not identify error in the Federal Magistrate's decision but instead sought to challenge the Tribunal decision. The Court was unable to discern any jurisdictional error in the reasoning or findings of the Federal Magistrate, who had rejected the appellant's s 424A, irrelevant information, wrong information, and bias grounds. The appeal was therefore dismissed.
