Kaur v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection


The High Court has issued by consent of the parties orders quashing a decision of the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection and directing the Minister to make a new decision according to law. Kaur, an Indian national, was refused an application for a partner residence visa and claimed that the Minister’s delegate took into account irrelevant considerations when examining his relationship and thus failed to accord him procedural fairness. The Full Court hearing set for 6 October was vacated and the Court issued orders by consent on 7 October.
