Yenugudhati v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 1122

Yenugudhati v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 1122

The Federal Magistrate's judgment dismissing the proceeding for the appellant's non-attendance was interlocutory, so the appellant required leave to appeal under s 24(1A) of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth). Because no leave was sought, the appeal was incompetent; in any event, leave would have been futile because the Migration Review Tribunal correctly found that the appellant breached condition 8202 of his student visa and the appeal had no prospect of success.
