Kim v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2009] FCA 161

Kim v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2009] FCA 161

The Migration Review Tribunal expressly considered whether the appellant had established exceptional reasons for the grant of the subclass 573 visa, and its discussion of individual aspects of her claims did not establish that it failed to consider those matters cumulatively. The appellant did not establish jurisdictional error by the Tribunal or error by the Federal Magistrate, so the appeal was dismissed.
