SZJIA v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 479

SZJIA v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2008] FCA 479

There was no evidence that the Tribunal's reasons were ever physically provided to the applicant personally, so under SZKKC the s 477 time limits had not commenced and the Federal Magistrates Court decision disclosed jurisdictional error; however, because SZKKC was under appeal to the High Court and that determination was directly relevant, the application should not be heard at this stage and should be adjourned.

"Whether the application should be heard immediately or adjourned pending the High Court of Australia's determination of the appeal concerning SZKKC."]
