The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered the cancellation of a Subclass 457 (Business (Long Stay)) visa held by the first named applicant. The Tribunal's jurisdiction extended only to the first applicant, with no jurisdiction concerning the second named applicant.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the decision to cancel the first applicant's visa should be affirmed. This required the Tribunal to consider the purpose of the visa and the circumstances surrounding the cancellation.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision to cancel the visa, concluding that in the absence of further evidence and having regard to the visa's purpose and the overall circumstances, the cancellation was justified. The Tribunal explicitly stated it had no jurisdiction in relation to the second named applicant.
