Maan v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2009] FCAFC 150

The appeal was dismissed because the relevant version of Visa Condition 8202 was correctly determined to be the post-1 July 2007 version, the educational institution's certification sufficed to establish breach under the condition without a need for specifying a period, and the consideration of exceptional circumstances was a factual issue properly addressed with no jurisdictional error identified.
