SZTWL v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 56

SZTWL v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 56

The application for leave to appeal failed because the proposed appeal disclosed no arguable error. The Tribunal rejected the applicant's protection visa claims after finding she was not a credible witness, including by relying on documentary matters such as her application and passport address matching her mother's address. That reasoning was open to the Tribunal, and the Federal Circuit Court made no error in concluding that no jurisdictional error was shown.
