DDJ16 v Minister for Immigration

DDJ16 (the applicant) sought judicial review of a decision made by the Immigration Assessment Authority (the Authority) concerning an application for a Safe Haven Enterprise visa. The applicant contended that the Authority had failed to comply with the relevant legal provisions and that its decision was legally unreasonable.

The central legal issues before the Court were whether the Authority had committed a jurisdictional error by failing to comply with the applicable law, and whether its decision was so unreasonable as to constitute a jurisdictional error.

Judge Street found that the applicant had not established that the Authority had failed to comply with the relevant law or that its decision was legally unreasonable. The Court concluded that no jurisdictional error had been made out.

Consequently, the application for judicial review was dismissed.
