Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs v Park [2024] FCAFC 136

The notification letter did not sufficiently clearly state the time in which an application for review could be made, as required by s 66(2)(d)(ii) Migration Act 1958 (Cth); lack of clarity and connection rendered the notification non-compliant, and such non-compliance was not trivial.
