SZKSQ v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 1101

SZKSQ v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 1101

The Tribunal did not commit a jurisdictional error. It had no obligation to take further steps regarding notice under s 424A, having sent correspondence to the proper address. Its findings on credibility and rejection of the claims for protection were open on the evidence and supported by reasons. The Federal Magistrates Court decision to dismiss the application was correct, and the appeal must be dismissed.
