SZVHW v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 187

SZVHW v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 187

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not demonstrate any appealable error in the Federal Circuit Court's judgment. The appellant had been afforded a fair hearing, no denial of natural justice was established, nothing indicated that the primary judge misunderstood or misapplied the Act or the law, and the appellant's complaints about the Tribunal's credibility findings and danger on return were impermissible attempts to challenge the merits of the Tribunal's decision.
