Uddin v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1294

Uddin v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1294

The appeal was dismissed because the Tribunal's letter of 2 February 2017 gave the appellant an opportunity to address the Tribunal's tentative view that the review application might not be valid, satisfying the common law procedural fairness obligation, and because the material before the Tribunal did not show either an approved sponsor or a pending review of a sponsorship refusal as required by s 338(2)(d) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), so the Tribunal correctly concluded that it lacked jurisdiction.
