SZSTT v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 270

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not demonstrate error in the Federal Circuit Court's judgment and did not establish that the Tribunal's decision was affected by jurisdictional error. The grounds of appeal were generalised allegations that sought to challenge the merits of the Tribunal's adverse credibility findings, and the Tribunal's conclusions were open on the materials before it.
