Fisher v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 1052

Fisher v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 1052

No jurisdictional error was found in the Tribunal's decision; procedural fairness was not denied as the Tribunal had no obligation to call Ms Stephenson and the applicant did not request this. The applicant had sufficient time to respond, and any deficiency in the notice was rendered immaterial by Tribunal review. Therefore, neither extension of time nor leave to appeal is granted.
