SZVIE v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1361

The appeal was dismissed because the Tribunal had considered the appellant's protection claims and evidence, the asserted ss 424A and 424AA errors were not established, the Tribunal did not overlook the claimed Chattra Dal evidence, and the remaining claims concerning mental harm, extortion and cumulative assessment were either not required to be further considered after the Tribunal rejected the factual premise of harm by Awami League supporters or were unsubstantiated.
