SZQPB v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 539

The appellant's grounds challenged the Tribunal's factual findings and expressed disagreement with those findings, but did not establish jurisdictional error by the Tribunal or error by the Federal Magistrate. The Federal Magistrate had considered the alleged errors and found no jurisdictional error, and no articulated basis supported a natural justice ground. Accordingly, no error was shown and the appeal had to be dismissed.
