SZDMP v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 883

SZDMP v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 883

Leave to appeal was appropriate because the Federal Magistrate dismissed the proceeding in Chambers after proceeding under a mistaken belief about the procedural history, and it was far from clear that the Federal Magistrates Act 1999 (Cth) or rule 13.03 of the Federal Magistrates Court Rules authorised the procedure adopted, including dismissal without the applicant being heard.
