Rehan v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2019] FCA 1898

Rehan v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2019] FCA 1898

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicants identified no error in the primary judge's decision. The primary judge clearly explained that the judicial review application had no reasonable prospects of success: without an approved nomination there was no chance the subclass 457 visa application could be approved, the Tribunal had no alternative but to affirm the delegate's decision, and regulatory changes meant the applicants' position would be no better if the matter were remitted. The proposed appeal was therefore not attended with sufficient doubt to warrant reconsideration.

Procedural Posture

Migration Application for Leave to Appeal From Orders of the Federal Circuit Court Dismissing an Application for Judicial Review of a Decision of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal / Leave to Appeal

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the applicants should be granted leave to appeal from the Federal Circuit Court's summary dismissal of their judicial review application." "Whether any error was identified in the primary judge's conclusion that the judicial review application had no reasonable prospects of success because the first applicant did not have, and could not obtain, an approved nomination required for a subclass 457 visa."]

Ratio Decidendi

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicants identified no error in the primary judge's decision. The primary judge clearly explained that the judicial review application had no reasonable prospects of success: without an approved nomination there was no chance the subclass 457 visa application could be approved, the Tribunal had no alternative but to affirm the delegate's decision, and regulatory changes meant the applicants' position would be no better if the matter were remitted. The proposed appeal was therefore not attended with sufficient doubt to warrant reconsideration.

Court Disposition

Leave to appeal refused; applicants ordered to pay the first respondent's costs as assessed or agreed.

Orders

  • ['Leave to appeal be refused.' "The applicants pay the first respondent's costs as assessed or agreed."]
