Procedural Posture

Migration Application for Interim Relief to Restrain Removal From Australia Following Cancellation of Visas on Character Grounds / Motion for Urgent Interim Relief

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether interim relief should be granted to restrain the applicant's removal from Australia pending a substantive application." "Whether there was an arguable jurisdictional error in the Minister's decision to cancel the applicant's visas under s 501(2) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth)." 'Whether the rapid removal procedure was adopted for a collateral purpose of depriving the applicant of access to the Court.' 'Whether the Department was legally required to give 48 hours notice before removal.']

Ratio Decidendi

Interim relief was refused because the Court had virtually no basis for finding arguable jurisdictional error in the Minister's visa cancellation decision, there was no sufficient basis to conclude that rapid removal was being carried out for the collateral purpose of defeating access to judicial review, and there was no statutory requirement to provide the applicant with 48 hours notice before removal.

Application for interim relief refused; motion dismissed.
