Radzi v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 626

Radzi v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 626

The legislative scheme deems notice served by registered post at the address provided to be received, regardless of actual receipt. The Tribunal was not required to use email or voicemail for notification. As the prescribed fee was not paid and statutory notice requirements were satisfied, the Tribunal properly found it lacked jurisdiction. The Federal Circuit Court did not err in refusing to extend time for judicial review based on a lack of merit. No error was established in the lower court's decision.
