The Federal Court granted leave and judicial review of two immigration refusals, set them aside, remitted the matter to a different decision-maker, and refused directions and costs.
Leave to intervene was granted because both BWSS and CDAS demonstrated a public interest in the specific issue of abuse of process as it relates to relitigation of findings from prior criminal proceedings, each has a representative base and a unique, non-duplicative perspective that will assist the court, and neither seeks to expand the scope of the appeal; accordingly, intervention was permitted on limited terms (factum page limits and filing deadlines).

The Amended Record filed March 2, 2026 was not complete; the record must consist of all materials that were before the Senate Executive Committee.

Sections 207.05 and 207.06 impose a tax (not a penalty) as shown by the statutory text, context and purpose; s.207.06 does not delegate unrestricted rate‑setting power to the Minister and therefore does not breach s.53 of the Constitution Act, 1867; the Minister's waiver power is constrained by statutory factors and judicial review.

The Federal Court dismissed judicial review of an inadmissibility finding, holding the Immigration Division reasonably found a veiled State policy and knowing, voluntary complicity.
The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, set aside the order dismissing the application, and remitted the lease-interpretation dispute for a new hearing.
