SZNLE v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2010] FCA 212

The appellant did not show that the Federal Magistrates Court erred. The Tribunal's questioning was proper testing of the appellant's claims, the transcript did not support the complaint about interpretation, and the challenge to factual findings did not establish jurisdictional error. The appeal was therefore dismissed.
