SZTXU v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 114

SZTXU v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 114

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant identified no appealable legal error in the Federal Circuit Court's decision. The first three grounds before that Court were merely disagreements with the Tribunal's factual and credibility findings and did not establish jurisdictional error. The procedural fairness allegation was unparticularised, and the information relied on by the Tribunal either did not have to be disclosed under s 424A(3) or was dealt with under s 424AA. The Federal Circuit Court also did not err in finding that the Tribunal had considered the appellant's claims.
