SZRIU v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2013] FCA 435

SZRIU v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2013] FCA 435

The appeal fails because the appellant raised only factual disputes, not legal error. The Tribunal acted within its statutory obligations, assessed the appellant’s capacity to provide evidence, was not required to investigate further or consider internal relocation given negative findings on credibility, and correctly applied the law regarding its duty to inquire. The Federal Magistrate’s findings were correct in law.
