Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the Minister was misdirected in the making of the surrender decision due to an alleged invalid section 16 notice' 'Whether there was a denial of procedural fairness to the appellant']

Ratio Decidendi

Any defect in the s 16 notice ceased to be relevant once replaced by the s 19 determination; the Minister was not misdirected by the advice received and there was no denial of procedural fairness. The Minister was not required to consider every procedural nuance, especially as the relevant arguments had been put by the appellant in submissions, and the legislative scheme does not require a valid s 16 notice as a precondition for ordering surrender under s 22.
