SZTII v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 1212

SZTII v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 1212

The appeal failed because the appellant did not identify or establish any appealable error by the Federal Circuit Court or any jurisdictional error by the Tribunal. The Tribunal's adverse credibility findings and treatment of the appellant's documents were reasonably open on the material, legally logical and rational, and concerned factual findings and weight of evidence rather than jurisdictional error.
