Siddiqui v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 309

Siddiqui v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 309

The appeal failed because the appellant identified no error by the Federal Circuit Court and no jurisdictional error by the Tribunal. The Tribunal had repeatedly requested relevant information, gave the appellant opportunities including adjourned hearings, and the appellant acknowledged he was not enrolled in any course. The Federal Circuit Court correctly found that procedural fairness had been afforded and that the Tribunal could not be satisfied that the legislative requirements for a student visa were met.
