Avneesh v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1793

Avneesh v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1793

The Tribunal's jurisdiction had not been enlivened because there was no reviewable decision and no extant visa that had been cancelled. Because no review was being conducted, the obligation under s 360 to invite the appellant to appear at a hearing did not arise. The appellant's complaint disclosed no jurisdictional error, so the appeal was dismissed.
