SZTYN v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 56

No error by the primary judge was made out. The Tribunal considered the appellant's claims and evidence, including the letter from Mr X, gave reasons for finding that the appellant would not be targeted and would not face a real chance of serious harm or real risk of significant harm in Pakistan, and there was no demonstrated breach of procedural fairness, s 424, s 424A or s 425. The appeal therefore failed.
