SZQDR v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2011] FCA 1433

Leave to raise new grounds was not granted as the grounds sought to be raised were merely challenges to factual findings by the Tribunal, which are not reviewable unless there is jurisdictional error. There was no jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's failure to afford weight to the medical certificate or in its consideration of the appellant's claims. The appeal was dismissed.
