Dy v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 676

Dy v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 676

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not persist with the application for leave to appeal the interlocutory ruling, and the proposed new grounds concerning the review application were either not raised below or not contained in the notice of appeal or written submissions and were bound to fail. The alleged prior departmental knowledge did not prevent cancellation under s 109; the notice clearly alleged incorrect information about the death of the appellant's husband; and the Tribunal's treatment of inadvertence and the reg 2.41 circumstances disclosed no error, and in any event no demonstrated jurisdictional error.

Procedural Posture

Appeal From the Federal Magistrates Court of Australia Concerning Review of Migration Review Tribunal Decision Affirming Cancellation of Visa / Appeal Dismissed

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether leave should be granted to appeal from the Federal Magistrate's interlocutory refusal to order production of the Tribunal member's notes of evidence." 'Whether the power to cancel a visa under s 109 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) could arise where the department allegedly knew of non-compliance at the time the visa was granted.' "Whether the notice of non-compliance alleged the relevant incorrect information with sufficient clarity, including whether the alleged non-compliance concerned the appellant's marital status or the death of her husband." 'Whether the Tribunal erred in its consideration of inadvertence and the prescribed circumstances under reg 2.41 of the Migration Regulations 1994 (Cth).']

Ratio Decidendi

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not persist with the application for leave to appeal the interlocutory ruling, and the proposed new grounds concerning the review application were either not raised below or not contained in the notice of appeal or written submissions and were bound to fail. The alleged prior departmental knowledge did not prevent cancellation under s 109; the notice clearly alleged incorrect information about the death of the appellant's husband; and the Tribunal's treatment of inadvertence and the reg 2.41 circumstances disclosed no error, and in any event no demonstrated jurisdictional error.
