The Department of Home Affairs has responded to Guardian Australia's inquiries about a federal court case in which an asylum seeker is suing the government for false imprisonment. The department kept him in immigration detention for five days despite a tribunal order that his visa was valid.

As we reported earlier today, this lawsuit arises out of the same case in which a federal court judge found that the immigration minister, Alan Tudge, engaged in criminal conduct.
