SZUYO v Minister for Immigration [2015] FCA 970

The applicant demonstrated no arguable case of error by the Federal Circuit Court because the Tribunal had considered each of his claims as to why he feared persecution in Sri Lanka, and no arguable jurisdictional error by the Tribunal was shown. Any asserted error in the Tribunal's credibility findings was not a jurisdictional error in the circumstances and could not support merits review on appeal.
