SZRTP v Minister for Immigration & Anor (No.2)

In SZRTP v Minister for Immigration & Anor (No.2), Judge Nicholls of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia considered a dispute involving an applicant and the Minister for Immigration. The case concerned an application for review of a decision made by the Minister.

The primary legal issue before the Court was the correct identification of the first respondent. The applicant sought an amendment to the name of the first respondent to accurately reflect the current ministerial portfolio responsible for immigration matters.

The Court, having considered the application, ordered that the name of the first respondent be amended to ‘Minister for Immigration, Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship’. Furthermore, the Court ordered that the applicant pay the first respondent’s costs in the amount of $13,750.00.
