SZSPB v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2013] FCA 1347

SZSPB v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2013] FCA 1347

The applicant did not demonstrate any arguable error by the Federal Circuit Court or any arguable jurisdictional error by the Tribunal. His complaints largely challenged factual and credibility findings, which did not establish jurisdictional error; the alleged s 424A breach was unsupported because the relevant undisclosed information was not identified; and the Tribunal had no obligation to ensure that he understood its decision. Leave to appeal was refused and the application dismissed.
