SZKGC v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2010] FCA 270
The Tribunal was found to have addressed all of the appellant's claims regarding fear of persecution for reasons other than by Maoists and did so in accordance with legal and statutory obligations. Its findings on matters of fact were open to it on the evidence. There was no jurisdictional error and the appellant's argument amounted to an attempt to have the Court undertake a merits review, which is not permissible.
