Dasgupta v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2001] FCA 1239

Dasgupta v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2001] FCA 1239

The Tribunal correctly addressed whether, at the time of the second visa application, the applicant had substantially complied with condition 8202 of his previous Subclass 560 visa by satisfying the course requirements of the Graduate Diploma in Information Technology course for which that visa was issued. On the applicant's own evidence he did not sit exams, did not pass subjects, and discontinued that course; therefore it was open to the Tribunal to find non-compliance with the visa condition and that cl 560.213 was not satisfied. No legal error attended the Tribunal's decision.
