SZLNR v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 891

SZLNR v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 891

The applicant did not identify any arguable jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's decision. The alleged failures under s 424A, procedural fairness and natural justice were unparticularised or unsupported, and the Tribunal's adverse credibility findings and rejection of the protection visa claims were matters within its statutory function. No basis was established for granting leave to appeal, so the application was dismissed.
