SZVJY v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 618

SZVJY v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 618

Although the Federal Circuit Court erred in holding that the evidence concerning The Toolshed was not information within s 424A(1), the error was immaterial because the information was not specifically about the appellant and fell within the exception in s 424A(3)(a). The appellant also failed to establish jurisdictional error in relation to language difficulties, mental health conditions, or the Tribunal's credibility findings, and leave to argue vague new grounds was refused.
