SZRSJ v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 457

The appeal was dismissed as no appealable error of law or jurisdictional error was shown in the Federal Circuit Court's dismissal of the judicial review application. The Federal Circuit Court correctly confined itself to questions of law and did not err in upholding the Refugee Review Tribunal's decision, as alleged factual mistakes or failures to consider evidence did not amount to jurisdictional error.
