SZSSJ v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2013] FCA 1223

SZSSJ v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2013] FCA 1223

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant identified no procedural or analytical error amounting to jurisdictional error in the Refugee Review Tribunal decision. The Tribunal gave detailed attention to the appellant's claims and its conclusions were open on the material. The grounds of appeal were formulaic and raised no matter supporting jurisdictional error, and there was no reason to doubt the correctness of the Federal Circuit Court's judgment. If leave to appeal had been sought, it would have been refused.
