BOE21 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCAFC 99

There was no legal or jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's weighing of the applicant's ties to the Australian community or in its application of the abating effect of the applicant's offending soon after arriving in Australia when considering revocation of mandatory visa cancellation. The weight to be attributed to each factor was for the Tribunal, and it did not proceed on the basis of a misapprehension that it was required by Direction 90 to reduce the weight of community/family ties for this reason.
