Applicant S454 of 2003 v Refugee Review Tribunal [2004] FCA 1355

The affidavit did not disclose any ground upon which prerogative writ relief could be granted, because it merely asserted failure to consider danger on return, challenged factual findings, and alleged insufficient information before the Tribunal; accordingly the order nisi was refused, but the effect of that refusal was stayed for 21 days to allow the applicant to obtain legal advice.
