CJK18 v Minister for Home Affairs

The applicant, CJK18, sought judicial review of a decision made by the Minister for Home Affairs under the fast-track review process established by Part 7AA of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth). The central issue concerned a data breach that had occurred.

The primary legal question before the court was whether the Minister was required to adopt an assumption, as interpreted in *Minister for Immigration and Border Protection v SZSSJ* [2022] FCAFC 17, in the context of the fast-track review process and the data breach.

Judge Young dismissed the application, finding that the assumption referred to in *SZSSJ* did not apply to the circumstances of this case. The court reasoned that the specific provisions governing the fast-track review process and the nature of the data breach did not necessitate the adoption of that particular assumption. Consequently, the Minister's decision was upheld.
