Singh v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1231

Singh v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1231

The appeal was dismissed because the AAT acted within its statutory authority in proceeding in the appellant's absence, having given proper notice and reasonable opportunity, and there was no evidence the appellant satisfied the requirement of holding a Subclass 820 visa for the grant of a Subclass 801 visa. The FCCA correctly found no jurisdictional error or denial of procedural fairness.
