SZLLS v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 1082

SZLLS v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 1082

The application was dismissed because, although the delay was short and the applicant likely did not receive the written reasons until about 28 April 2008, the proposed appeal had no reasonable prospect of success. The Tribunal's decision was wholly based on adverse credibility findings, which were within its province, and the applicant's arguments under ss 425 and 424A of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) did not disclose jurisdictional error.
