"For nearly 20 years, the Commonwealth operated under the mistaken assumption
that it was allowed to hold people in immigration detention indefinitely. In
2023, the High Court’s landmark ruling confirmed otherwise.
We are now about to see the fallout of those events, with the government facing
potential civil liability to people who, as it turns out, were unlawfully
detained.
A new High Court judgment in a case called
Abdel-Hady vs the Commonwealth has
left the door open for a man who was unlawfully detained to sue the government
for compensation, potentially allowing hundreds of others to do the same."
