EWV20 as litigation representative for AFF20 v Minister for Home Affairs (No 3)

In the case of EWV20 as litigation representative for AFF20 v Minister for Home Affairs (No 3), the applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Minister for Home Affairs to cancel his visa under section 501(3)(b) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). The applicant argued that the Minister failed to give proper, genuine and realistic consideration to the material provided to him before making the decision to cancel his visa. The Court was required to determine whether the Minister had provided the requisite consideration and whether the Minister's failure to give evidence was relevant to the case.

The Court found that the Minister had received the relevant materials two days before making the decision and that the period of time was sufficient for him to give proper, genuine and realistic consideration. The Court also found that the Minister's failure to give evidence was not relevant to the case as the Court was satisfied with the evidence provided by the Minister's advisers. The Court dismissed the application and ordered the applicant to pay the respondent's costs.

In conclusion, the Court found that the Minister had provided the requisite consideration and that the applicant's judicial review challenge was unsuccessful. The Court dismissed the amended originating application and ordered the applicant to pay the respondent's costs.
