Singh v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 996

Singh v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 996

The appeal was dismissed because the notice of appeal and oral submissions identified no legal or appellable error in the Federal Circuit Court's reasons. The Federal Circuit Court had found that the Tribunal correctly identified the applicable legislative scheme, had evidence that the appellant had not complied with the visa condition, considered the appellant's submissions and circumstances, and made no jurisdictional error. The appellant's arguments sought merits review, which the Federal Court could not undertake.

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the Federal Circuit Court's dismissal of the judicial review application disclosed appellable error." "Whether the Administrative Appeals Tribunal committed jurisdictional error in affirming cancellation of the appellant's Student (Temporary) (class TU) Higher Education Sector (subclass 573) visa under s 116 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth)." "Whether the appellant's submissions sought impermissible merits review rather than identifying legal error."]
