Grewal v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1533

Grewal v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1533

The Tribunal correctly identified and applied the statutory criteria relevant to the grant of a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) 572 visa, including the genuine temporary entrant criterion in clause 572.223. There was no jurisdictional error or breach of procedural fairness. The Federal Circuit Court did not err in dismissing the application for judicial review, and the grounds of appeal lack substance.
