Mani v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 1313

Mani v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 1313

The appeal fails because the Tribunal gave genuine and realistic consideration to the appellant's claims concerning exceptional circumstances, and the absence of policy and written advice under Direction No. 38 does not constitute 'information' for the purposes of s 359A of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). There was no jurisdictional error by the Tribunal or the Federal Magistrate.
