Procedural Posture

Migration Appeal From the Federal Circuit Court of Australia Dismissal of a Judicial Review Application / Appeal to the Federal Court of Australia Against Kanu V Minister for Immigration & Anor [2020] FCCA 398

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the Tribunal misconstrued the criteria for approval of a nomination by assessing the genuineness of the position associated with the nominated occupation as at the time of its decision without regard to evidence that the position was proposed to be created at a future time.' "Whether the Tribunal failed to give weight to evidence that the appellant's business was demonstrating strong business growth in a manner that misconstrued the evidence and was illogical and unreasonable." 'Whether the Tribunal failed to carry out the task required by reg 2.72(10)(f) of the Migration Regulations 1994 (Cth) by failing to undertake a qualitative analysis of the position associated with the nominated occupation and compare that with the nominated occupation.']

Ratio Decidendi

The appeal was dismissed because the Tribunal did not misconstrue reg 2.72(10)(f). Read as a whole, the Tribunal's reasons showed that it was not satisfied, on the evidence of the business's receipts, expenses, staffing and projected growth, that the full-time Customer Service Manager position existed or was what it purported to be. Its treatment of the appellant's further evidence was reasonably open and was not illogical or unreasonable, and any required qualitative analysis was sufficiently undertaken in the Tribunal's conclusion that it was unable to be satisfied that the position was what it purported to be.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed.

Orders

  • ['The appeal be dismissed.' "The appellant pay the first respondent's costs, of and incidental to the appeal, to be assessed by a Registrar if not agreed."]
