SZTIV v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 108

SZTIV v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 108

The Federal Circuit Court did not err in finding that the Tribunal had not committed a jurisdictional error: the appellant did not substantiate her claim for religious persecution sufficiently and the Tribunal was correct in its legal construction of s 336F of the Migration Act—the Legislative Instrument could have no adverse effect while the appellant's application was pending. The appeal was dismissed accordingly.
