  1. Judge faces judicial review over 'biased' immigration rulings

  2. A federal circuit judge who continually ruled against immigration applications should have excused himself from hearing the cases because it appeared he was biased, the federal court has heard. Federal circuit court judge Alexander “Sandy” Street is facing a judicial review application, in part over his handling of a string of immigration matters. A statistical analysis presented in court outlined that Street had ruled against 254 out of 256 immigration applicants between 1 January 2015 and 19 June 2015. Barrister Jay Williams told the chief justice, James Allsop, Justice John Griffiths and Justice Susan Kenny there was “a one in 10 chance before other judges and a 1 in 100 chance before this judge” of having an immigration ruling overturned.
