Singh v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 423

Singh v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 423

The appellant had not identified any jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's decision or any error in the Federal Circuit Court's dismissal of his judicial review application. The proposed grounds were not raised below, required leave, and either were incoherent, sought merits review, or had insufficient prospects because the Tribunal had considered and rejected the appellant's explanations and had found that he had not been enrolled in a registered course since 25 July 2014. Leave to rely on the new grounds was refused and the appeal was dismissed.
