SZSUS v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 902

SZSUS v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 902

The Federal Circuit Court did not err in dismissing the judicial review application because it was open to the Tribunal to reject or give no weight to the appellant's documentary evidence in light of credibility findings, to find no real risk of continuing harm arising from his father's status as a razakar, and to find that the country information did not show a risk of persecution to BNP supporters or affiliated businessmen. No jurisdictional error or denial of natural justice was shown.
