AI SCRIPT Pty Ltd (Migration)

AI SCRIPT Pty Ltd sought review of a decision concerning the approval of a nomination. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered whether it had jurisdiction to hear the matter, given the applicant company's deregistered status.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether a deregistered company, having ceased to exist as a legal entity, possessed the legal standing to pursue a review of a migration decision. This question directly engaged the Tribunal's jurisdiction.

The Tribunal reasoned that as AI SCRIPT Pty Ltd had been deregistered and no longer existed as a legal entity, it could not validly make an application for review. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the matter.
