SZCZV v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1002

SZCZV v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1002

The Tribunal did not deny procedural fairness in not putting to the appellant its views regarding the effect of governmental change on old detention orders, as the issue was directly raised with him and was clear from the proceedings. Although there was a failure to invite comment on the significance of open departure despite an alleged detention order, this did not affect the outcome of the appeal.
