Kumar v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2000] FCA 1629

Kumar v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2000] FCA 1629

Because the Tribunal was not satisfied at the time of decision that the applicant would abide by the conditions to be imposed on a Bridging visa, the applicant did not satisfy cl 050.221. In those circumstances, it was unnecessary for the Tribunal to make a positive finding about satisfaction of cl 050.213 at the time of application, as any earlier favourable finding would be supplanted by the later adverse determination and any earlier adverse finding would itself have caused the application to fail.
