SZQVX v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 913

SZQVX v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 913

The appeal failed because the Tribunal gave the appellant full particulars of the critical inconsistencies on which it relied, complied with its procedural obligations under s 425(1) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), and was not required to provide a transcript of the delegate interview. The appellant's complaints merely re-agitated matters raised below and did not establish procedural unfairness, illogicality, or any jurisdictional error.
