CBM19 v Minister for Immigration

The applicant, CBM19, brought proceedings against the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. The core of the dispute concerned the applicant's immigration status and the Minister's decision in relation to it.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the applicant's application, filed on 22 May 2019, should be dismissed. This determination was to be made pursuant to rule 44.12 of the Federal Circuit Court Rules 2001 (Cth).

Judge Vasta ordered that the name of the First Respondent be amended to reflect its full title. The Court then dismissed the applicant's application pursuant to rule 44.12 of the Federal Circuit Court Rules 2001 (Cth). Consequently, the applicant was ordered to pay the First Respondent's costs, fixed at $3,737.00.
