DZJ16 v Minister for Immigration

The applicant, DZJ16, sought to reinstate an application for judicial review concerning a decision by the Minister for Immigration. The original application for judicial review related to a protection visa application. The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, presided over by Judge Riethmuller, considered the application to reinstate.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether there were sufficient grounds to permit the reinstatement of the application for judicial review. This required the Court to assess whether the matter raised any significant matters of principle that warranted further consideration, despite the apparent lack of progress or engagement with the original judicial review proceedings.

Judge Riethmuller determined that the application for reinstatement did not present any matters of principle that justified its revival. Consequently, the Court found no basis to grant the application. The application to reinstate the application for judicial review was dismissed.
