SZNUC v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2010] FCA 91

SZNUC v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2010] FCA 91

The Federal Magistrates Court correctly found there was no obligation for the Tribunal to disclose inconsistencies in the appellant's evidence under s 424A or s 424AA. No jurisdictional error was established as the alleged breach did not relate to 'information' requiring disclosure, and non-compliance with s 424AA was of no legal consequence absent a duty under s 424A.
