Lyu v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 1258

Lyu v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 1258

The appeal was allowed because the email notice to Yuko Pan on 2 September 2019 was not effective service under s 494D of the Migration Act, as her authority was limited to business monitoring survey documents and not visa cancellation notices, and therefore proper notification required under s 135(1) was not given.
