Iqbal v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 257

Iqbal v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 257

The Tribunal correctly found it lacked jurisdiction as the appellant's application for review was lodged out of time. Notification was sent in the prescribed manner to the appellant's last known address. The grounds relating to procedural fairness and notice were without merit since the legislative requirements had been met and absence of legal representation does not amount to a procedural unfairness.
