DZB16 v Minister for Immigration (No.2)

The applicant, DZB16, sought judicial review of a decision made by the Minister for Immigration. The matter came before Judge Street of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the application should be dismissed due to the applicant's failure to appear at a scheduled directions hearing. This question was to be determined by reference to rule 13.03C(1)(c) of the Federal Circuit Court Rules 2001 (Cth).

Judge Street dismissed the application pursuant to rule 13.03C(1)(c) of the Federal Circuit Court Rules 2001 (Cth) because no appearance was made by or on behalf of the applicant at the scheduled directions hearing.
