Procedural Posture

Application to Review a Decision of the Immigration Review Tribunal Affirming Refusal of a Class 816 Special (permanent) Entry Permit / Federal Court Judicial Review; Ex Tempore Reasons and Final Orders

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether NOOSR's letter stating that it was unable to provide an assessment meant that the duty to assess the applicant's qualifications remained undischarged." 'Whether the Tribunal erred in law by finding that the applicant did not meet cl 816.721(2)(b)(i) without a favourable NOOSR assessment.' 'Whether the Tribunal misconstrued the concept of "trade" in cl 816.721(2)(b)(ii) by not treating primary school teaching experience as work experience for a trade.' 'Whether the absence of a favourable assessment by the Department of Industrial Relations prevented satisfaction of cl 816.721(2)(b)(ii).']

Ratio Decidendi

The Tribunal did not err in law. In the absence of a favourable NOOSR assessment, it could not be satisfied that the applicant met cl 816.721(2)(b)(i). In the absence of any favourable assessment by the Department of Industrial Relations of the applicant's work experience or trade qualification, it could not be satisfied that cl 816.721(2)(b)(ii) was met. Section 65 of the Migration Act 1958 therefore required refusal of the visa application, and the Federal Court application was dismissed.

Court Disposition

Application dismissed with costs.

Orders

  • ['The application is dismissed.' "The applicant pay the respondent's costs."]
