SCRITTON & JAVINS

In the matter of Scritton & Javins, Gill J of the Federal Court of Australia considered an application concerning the application of section 102NA(2) of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth) to the proceedings. The precise nature of the dispute between the parties, Scritton and Javins, is not detailed, but the central issue revolved around the applicability of this specific legislative provision.

The primary legal question before the Court was whether section 102NA(2) of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth) was to govern the conduct of the proceedings before it. This section, which deals with the admissibility of evidence in certain migration matters, was the focus of the Court's determination.

Gill J determined that section 102NA(2) did indeed apply to the proceedings. The Court's reasoning, as indicated by the orders made, was that the conditions for the application of this section were met in this instance. Consequently, the Court made an order to that effect.
