Gill v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 226

Gill v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 226

The appeal was dismissed because none of the grounds was established. The Tribunal had considered the nomination application and the other matters advanced by the first appellant, and the evaluative conclusion that PIC 4014(1)(b) was not satisfied was not shown to involve misunderstanding, misapplication, legal unreasonableness or failure to consider relevant evidence. The Tribunal was under no obligation to delay its review, and any issue about other visa criteria was immaterial once PIC 4014 was not satisfied. No breach of procedural fairness by the primary judge was demonstrated.
