SZLZM v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2008] FCA 1263

The appeal must be dismissed because the Notice of Appeal did not identify any error on the part of the Federal Magistrates Court, and the grounds concerned only alleged errors by the Refugee Review Tribunal, which were not jurisdictional errors. Even construing the grounds generously, no jurisdictional error or appellable error in the Tribunal or Federal Magistrates Court has been demonstrated.
