O’Donoghue v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2010] FCA 1486

O’Donoghue v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2010] FCA 1486

The application for bail failed because no existing proceeding enlivened a power to grant bail, the statutory period for bail under s 21(6)(f)(iv) had ended, the proposed mandamus claim concerning s 22(2) would not affect the committal warrant, the proposed s 16 challenge did not raise a serious question because the extradition request was distinct from supporting statements and preceded the s 16 notice, and the matters relied on did not amount to special or exceptional circumstances justifying bail.

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the Federal Court had power in the existing proceedings to grant bail under s 21(6)(f)(iv) of the Extradition Act 1988 (Cth).' 'Whether any proposed application under s 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth) and s 23 of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth) could support interlocutory release from custody.' 'Whether there was a serious question to be tried concerning alleged delay in making a determination under s 22(2) of the Extradition Act 1988 (Cth).' 'Whether the s 16 notice was invalid because the extradition request allegedly post-dated the notice.' 'Whether special or exceptional circumstances justified bail.']
