Sadyal v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 1462

Sadyal v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 1462

The appeal was dismissed because the grounds of appeal were unparticularised and unsupported by written or oral submissions, so no appealable error by the primary judge was identified. In any event, the unappealed judgment dismissing judicial review of the nomination refusal decision meant the primary judge was entitled and obliged to proceed on the basis that there was no approved nomination; consequently the visa refusal decision was not affected by jurisdictional error and refusal was mandated by s 65 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth).
