SZLPI v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 1841

SZLPI v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 1841

The alleged s 424A material was either the Tribunal member's reasoning process rather than information, independent country information within s 424A(3)(a), not shown to be information forming a reason for affirming the decision, or information supplied by the appellant within s 424A(3)(b). Because the Tribunal found no well-founded fear of persecution for a Convention reason and no real chance of future Convention-related persecution, it was not required to consider relocation or State protection. The Federal Magistrate made no error and the appeal was dismissed.
