An asylum seeker who has spent over a decade at detention centres across Australia has won a High Court appeal that could pave the way for ending his indefinite detention.

The Iranian man who legally changed his name to Ned Kelly Emeralds, in a nod to the 19th-century Australian outlaw, remains detained at Yongah Hill Detention Centre in Western Australia.
