SZUYB v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 661

SZUYB v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 661

Leave to appeal was refused because the Federal Circuit Court's decision was not attended by sufficient doubt to warrant reconsideration. The Tribunal had considered the applicant's past detention, questioning, monitoring, harassment and eviction, but its conclusion that there was no well-founded fear of future persecution and no real risk of future significant harm if returned to Lebanon was reasonably open. The applicant's grounds disclosed no arguable jurisdictional error, and there was no arguable appeal point.
