[2015] FCCA 690

CaseChat Overview and Summary
The applicant, SZTOR, sought judicial review of a decision by the Refugee Review Tribunal (Tribunal) to refuse his application for a protection visa. The core of the dispute concerned allegations that the Tribunal's decision was affected by jurisdictional error.
The primary legal issues before the court were whether the Tribunal's decision was vitiated by a reasonable apprehension of bias, whether the Tribunal breached section 424A of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth), and whether the Tribunal failed to consider all the evidence before it.
Judge Cameron found that the Tribunal had not breached section 424A of the *Migration Act* and that there was no reasonable apprehension of bias. The court determined that the Tribunal had adequately considered the evidence presented by the applicant. Consequently, the application for judicial review was dismissed.
