Sections 424A and 424AA of the Migration Act do not apply to the appellants’ application; the relevant obligations are under ss 359A and 359AA, and there is no material before the Court indicating the Tribunal failed its obligations thereunder. The appeal is therefore dismissed, as no jurisdictional error is demonstrated.
