Savsani v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 479

Savsani v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 479

The appeal was dismissed because the appellants did not identify jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's decision or appealable error in the Federal Circuit Court judgment. The complaint that the Tribunal did not grant further time to re-sit IELTS did not reveal jurisdictional error, and the evidence did not show that the competent English criterion was satisfied at the time of the Tribunal's decision. The adjournment application was also rejected because no supporting evidence was provided.
