Alam v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 1371

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not provide evidence that satisfied the prescribed legal requirements for establishing domestic violence under Migration Regulations 1994 (Cth), particularly under reg 1.23(1)(d) and reg 1.24. The interim AVOs were not made after the alleged perpetrator had an opportunity to be heard, and the required statutory declarations were not supplied.
