Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs v AMU19 [2026] FCAFC 29 (https://www.judgments.fedcourt.gov.au/judgments/Judgments/fca/full/2026/2026fcafc0029)
Our client won his appeal to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia and the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship appealed to the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia. By 3-0, the Full Court dismissed the Minister’s appeal and agreed with the primary judge the Administrative Review Tribunal had acted unreasonably. The decision leaves open the possibility that visa applicants who have been ‘ghosted’ by their representatives at the Tribunal and missed their Tribunal hearing might be given a second chance of a hearing like AMU19 has been given.
