Singh v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 525

Singh v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 525

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant's Medical Treatment visa application was bound to fail: he did not hold a substantive temporary visa and had applied more than 28 days after expiry of his student visa, so he could not satisfy Sch 3 Criterion 3001 and no extension of that period was available. The Federal Circuit Court transcript disclosed no denial of procedural fairness, and no jurisdictional error by the Tribunal had been identified.
