Patel v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 364

Patel v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 364

The appeal was dismissed because the appellants had adequate notice of the hearing, failed to appear, provided no adequate explanation before the hearing, filed no submissions, and the written materials disclosed no arguable point of appeal. The only appeal ground, based on s 424A(1), had not been raised before the primary judge, bore no relationship to the Tribunal's dismissal decision, and was wholly without merit, so leave would have been refused.
