Singh v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2019] FCA 1874

Singh v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2019] FCA 1874

The ground of appeal did not identify any legal error in the Tribunal's decision or in the Federal Circuit Court's dismissal of judicial review. The Tribunal had considered the Appellant's circumstances and was not satisfied that he genuinely intended to stay in Australia temporarily. Because neither the Federal Circuit Court nor the Federal Court could undertake merits review, and no jurisdictional error was established, the appeal had to be dismissed.
