If a person is in detention when the relevant decision is made, all time limits are reduced to 7 working days as set out in Reg 4.10(2) :
[4.10] (2) However, the period in which an application by a detainee for review of an Part 5 -reviewable decision must be given to the Tribunal:
(a)..
(aa) …
(b) in any other case — starts when the detainee receives notice of the decision and ends at the end of 7 working days after the day on which the notice is received.
So for example, say an ordinary spouse visa was refused while the spouse was in detention, instead of the time for lodging an AAT application being 21 days it becomes 7 working days!
