The applicant failed to demonstrate irreparable harm, the balance of convenience and public interest favoured refusal of the stay, no special circumstances were established, and the travel ban was lawfully imposed under statutory powers; therefore the interlocutory stay application was dismissed.

Seizure orders under s50 AMLA are amenable to judicial review in appropriate circumstances (notably where mala fide by the decision‑maker is established), but the applicant failed to plead or prove mala fide by the DPP and the Court will not interfere with an ongoing investigation; therefore leave to commence judicial review is refused.

The application for judicial review is dismissed because the applicant failed to exhaust available domestic remedies (statutory review/appeal) and did not establish exceptional circumstances; the applicant had held himself out as importer by submitting Borang Kastam K1 and failed to produce required documentation in breach of s133 Customs Act 1967, therefore the Minister acted within discretion in refusing remission and the Bills of Demand were valid.

Leave was granted because the Attorney General's objections — that the travel ban was unreviewable and that domestic remedies were not exhausted — went to the merits and not to whether the leave application was frivolous; exhaustion issues and ouster arguments are for the substantive hearing, and absence of affidavit in reply left the leave application non-frivolous.
