Hasan v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 697

Hasan v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 697

The Tribunal did not commit jurisdictional error. The appellant had not obtained certification of at least satisfactory academic results for each relevant semester, including semesters after 21 December 2000, so he had not substantially complied with Condition 8202(3)(d) and therefore did not satisfy cl 573.212. The condition did not allow an overall balancing of satisfactory and unsatisfactory academic performance, and the appellant's personal circumstances were for the education provider, not the Tribunal, to consider.
