Jarratt v Commissioner of Police (NSW) [2005] HCA 50 ; (2005) 224 CLR 44
I am prepared to assume for the purposes of this case that natural justice or procedural fairness needed to be accorded to each applicant. The real question to determine is the practical content of natural justice or procedural fairness in this case: see, e.g. Jarratt v Commissioner of Police (NSW) [2005] HCA 50 ; (200...

Laurence v Chief of Navy [2004] FCA 1535 ; (2004) 139 FCR 555
The second matter is whether the Act confers a power to make, grant or issue such an instrument or merely confers a power on the Minister to make a decision which is to be evidenced in writing: see Laurence v Chief of Navy [2004] FCA 1535 ; (2004) 139 FCR 555. In that case, at 558, Wilcox J drew the following distincti...

I readily accept that the Act has given ex...

Re Brian Lawlor Automotive Pty Ltd and Collector of Customs (NSW) (1978) 1 ALD 167
My own view is that s 21R confers a power to appoint, not a power to make, grant or issue any instrument. Section 21R does not talk in terms of the relevant act (the appointment) being made "by" or "pursuant to" any form of writing, but confers a power to make a decision to appoint, which incidentally to that decision,...

X v Australian Crime Commission [2004] FCA 1475 ; (2004) 139 FCR 413
There are two matters requiring consideration before it can be held that s 33(3) applies to s 21R. The first matter is whether an appointment made under s 21R of the Act is an "instrument" within the meaning of s 33(3).
