DTP17 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2021] FCA 17

Ground 1 failed because the appellant did not identify below or on appeal the adverse matters which procedural fairness allegedly required the Authority to put to him, so he could not demonstrate practical injustice; the primary judge correctly applied the Part 7AA fast track review scheme and DGZ16. Ground 2 failed because the appellant did not explain how the Authority was biased in its review. The primary judge's decision was not affected by error.
