Jariv v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2003] FCA 1561

Jariv v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2003] FCA 1561

The application for interlocutory relief was dismissed because the gazettal argument did not raise a serious issue, there was no material showing that non-protected information required by procedural fairness had been withheld, and although the constitutional validity of ss 503A and 503D raised a question for debate, it did not justify restraining the Minister from making a decision on the visa application.
