Munish v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 459

Munish v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 459

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant identified no appealable error in the Federal Circuit Court's refusal of an adjournment and dismissal of his application in his absence, and in any event the Tribunal correctly applied Reg 1.15F(1)(e) and cl 485.213(a): the applicant undertook about eight months of study while holding a visa subject to condition 8201, which authorised study for only three months, so he did not satisfy the Australian study requirement and no substantial injustice would result from refusing leave.
