Marina v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 1371

Marina v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 1371

No jurisdictional error was found in the Tribunal's conclusion that the appellant was not enrolled in an approved course at the time of decision, thus failing to satisfy a primary requirement for a Student (Subclass 500) visa. The Federal Circuit Court's decision to dismiss the application for judicial review was correct as the limitations of the court’s review did not allow re-examination of merits or consideration of new evidence after the date of Tribunal decision.
