NEW SOUTH WALES DISTRICT REGISTRY N277 of 2001
BETWEEN: MUHAMMAD SHOUKAL AKBAR
APPLICANT
AND: MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION & MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS
RESPONDENT
JUDGE: MADGWICK J
DATE: 26 JULY 2001
PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT (revised from transcript) HIS HONOUR: 1 This is an application for judicial review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal ("the Tribunal") of 28 February 2000, which affirmed a decision of a delegate of the respondent Minister to not grant the applicant a protection visa. The grounds, as stated in the application, for an order of review are: "1. The Tribunal member unjustly refused the applicant's claim and it is grounded upon section 476(1)(g) of the Migration Act 1958. 2. The Tribunal took irrelevant consideration deciding the fate of the applicant review in accordance with the section 476(3)(d) of the Migration Act 1958. 3. The Tribunal made a number of errors to decide the fate of this case. 4. The Tribunal [had] failed to act in accordance with the relevant guidelines of the Migration Act 1958." 2 The applicant appeared for himself. He complained of his inability to obtain legal aid so as to be legally represented. It appears, however, that he did have legal advice pursuant to the pilot legal advice scheme operated by the respondent Minister's Department in New South Wales, whereby a person such as he can be advised as to the merits of his or her case.
