W276 v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2001] FCA 1466

W276 v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2001] FCA 1466

The Tribunal rejected the applicant's account as fabricated in material respects and found that he was not of concern to the Syrian authorities, had not been detained or tortured, and had no difficulty leaving Syria. The Federal Court held that none of the limited grounds of review under s 476 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) appeared, so the application disclosed no ground for review.
