| Summary |
Refugee Law in Australia is the first text to deal comprehensively with how the Australian Courts have interpreted the United Nations Convention concerning the Status of Refugees. The text presents a comprehensive legal analysis of the case law and the decision-making mechanisms for assessing applications for refugee status from the primary decision-making level to the High Court. Information about the applicable procedures is included as well as practical advice for case presentation at all these levels. Refugee status law is a politically sensitive subject and exposes Australia to international scrutiny. Refugee litigation comprises a substantial amount of the Federal Courtâ‚‚s caseload and refugee cases have set precedents that apply across all fields of administrative law. The text presents the complex legal issues in a lucid and thorough manner |
