Haq v Minister for Immigration, Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship [2013] FCA 880

Haq v Minister for Immigration, Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship [2013] FCA 880

The appellant identified no jurisdictional error by the Migration Review Tribunal and no error in the Federal Circuit Court judgment. The Tribunal had considered the asserted exceptional circumstances, the psychologist's report, and the appellant's enrolment position, and its findings that the appellant had not substantially complied with visa conditions and was not currently enrolled or the subject of a current offer of enrolment were reasonably open. The appeal therefore had to be dismissed with costs.

Procedural Posture

Migration Appeal From Refusal of Judicial Review / Appeal From the Federal Circuit Court of Australia Dismissed

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the Migration Review Tribunal made a jurisdictional error in affirming the delegate's refusal of the appellant's student visa application." 'Whether the Federal Circuit Court erred in refusing judicial review of the Migration Review Tribunal decision.' "Whether the Tribunal failed to take into account the appellant's relationship breakdown, his mother's illness, the psychologist's report, and his current enrolment status." 'Whether the appellant had substantially complied with the conditions of his last held student visa and any subsequent bridging visa.']

Ratio Decidendi

The appeal therefore had to be dismissed with costs.
