SZRNB v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2013] FCA 211

SZRNB v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2013] FCA 211

The appellant failed to identify any appealable error. The Federal Magistrates Court correctly held that there was no jurisdictional error by the Refugee Review Tribunal: the appellant's complaints sought review of factual and credibility findings, did not identify any relevant facts the tribunal was bound to consider but ignored, and did not establish denial of natural justice. The appeal was therefore dismissed.
