‘Removed’ does not mean ‘removed’ after all: Moorcroft v Minister for Immigration… [2020] FCA 382
On Monday this week, the Federal Court of Australia handed down a decision allowing our client’s appeal of the FCCA’s and, today, we were notified that our client has been granted a Special Category (subclass 444) Visa, ending an over two-year ordeal for our client (who ended up spending over six months in immigration detention as a result).
