SZVED v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 907

SZVED v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 907

The appeal was dismissed because the stated grounds challenged the Tribunal rather than identifying error by the primary judge, and in any event no relevant error was established. The first ground was too vague to be meaningful. The second ground failed because the Tribunal considered relevant country information about relocation to Tamil Nadu and put the substance of that information to the appellant. The third ground failed because the Tribunal specifically considered the appellant's evidence about his mode of evangelising. The appellant's further oral complaints did not expose jurisdictional error by the Tribunal or appealable error by the primary judge.
