STATUTORY INTERPRETATION - consideration of the nature of the review to be conducted pursuant to s 473CC of the Act - whether the Authority's review is restricted to the correction of error in relation to those issues held to be determinative by the delegate - where the Authority's review is expressly described in the Act as "limited" and "on the papers" - where the Authority is limited to the review of material provided to it under s 473CB of the Act, except in exceptional circumstances - where the Authority may affirm a decision or remit the decision for reconsideration with permitted directions or recommendations - where the review is a compulsory aspect of the process of a "fast track applicant" applying for a visa - where the Authority is not obliged to conduct an oral hearing - where Parliament has not expressly stated that the Authority's power of review is limited to a review for correction of error.
