41.

The issues for the Tribunal to determine are:

(i)

Whether disclosure would or would be likely to prejudice the prevention or detection of crime;

(ii)

Whether disclosure would or would be likely to prejudice the operation of the immigration controls;

(iii)

If either exemption under section 31 is engaged, whether the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information;

(iv)

Whether, in relation to the relevant extract, section 42 is engaged and, if so, whether the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

42.

In assessing questions (i) and (ii) above, the Tribunal must consider whether:

a.

the actual harm which is envisaged relates to the applicable interests within the exemption/s it has cited;

b.

whether there is a causal link between disclosure and prejudice to those interests; and

c.

whether the level of prejudice that is envisaged is met.
