SZTJY v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1185

SZTJY v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1185

The appeal was dismissed because none of the grounds identified jurisdictional error; the Tribunal’s credibility determinations, consideration of documentary and country evidence, and procedural fairness were lawful and open to it, and the findings as to risk and entitlement to protection under the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) were supported by the material before the Tribunal. The primary judge did not err in dismissing the underlying judicial review application.
