Questão jurídica principal
Whether the migration decision was void because the appeal instruction named the wrong authority
Decisão extraída
No. The decision was issued on behalf of the Department of the Interior, so it was a departmental decision directly appealable to the Administrative Court; a wrong appeal instruction would not be a nullity ground in any event.
Fundamentação extraída
The court applied the principle that parties must not suffer from an incorrect remedy instruction. It found that the decisive act was made in the name of the department, not merely by the migration office.
