BZAAB v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship (No 2) [2011] FCA 430

BZAAB v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship (No 2) [2011] FCA 430

Because the appeal could be heard within a reasonable time in Sydney, the appellant had made an informed choice to have the appeal heard there, and the Minister also favoured that venue, there was no reason to put the appellant to the inconvenience or the Minister to the expense of an appeal hearing in Brisbane; the Court therefore approved the consent order transferring the case to Sydney.
