SZEJB v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs

The applicant, Szejb, sought leave to appeal against a decision of the Full Court of the Federal Court which dismissed his appeal against a decision of a single judge that refused his application for a protection visa. The Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs was the respondent. The central issue before the court was whether the applicant had established that he had a protection visa in the event of a grant of leave to appeal. The applicant argued that the Full Court had erred in its assessment of the evidence and in its interpretation of the relevant legislation. The court held that the applicant had not demonstrated that the Full Court had erred in any way that would justify the grant of leave to appeal. The court found that the Full Court's decision was correct and that the applicant had not satisfied the criteria for leave to appeal. The court dismissed the application for leave to appeal.
