Lay v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 919

Lay v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 919

The Tribunal did not misconstrue Migration Regulations 1994 (Cth) subclause 461.213(b)(ii). Because the listed Schedule 3 criteria were cumulative and the appellant did not satisfy criterion 3002, the Tribunal was not required to consider criteria 3003, 3004 or 3005. The Federal Circuit Court therefore did not fail to identify jurisdictional error, and the appeal was dismissed.
