REASONS FOR JUDGMENT GIVEN EX TEMPORE (REVISED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT)
Edmonds J: 1 In this matter, the appeal must be dismissed. The appellant's amended notice of appeal is not grounded in any error of law other than that to be inferred from ground 3: that the Refugee Review Tribunal ('the Tribunal') failed to take into account all relevant considerations. On my review of the decision of the Tribunal, that ground cannot be sustained. Clearly, the Tribunal did take into account all the material which the appellant put before it. The inability of the Tribunal to be satisfied as to the veracity of that material does not provide any ground for judicial review. Moreover, there is no obligation on the Tribunal to inquire further as to information which might corroborate that which has been put before it or otherwise to support the appellant's case. 2 I agree with the Federal Magistrate that no jurisdictional error is disclosed by the Tribunal's decision. The appeal will be dismissed with costs.
