Bhullar v Minister for Immigration (No. 2)

In *Bhullar v Minister for Immigration (No. 2)*, the applicant, Kanwar Navdeep Singh Bhullar, sought to set aside a judgment previously made by the Federal Circuit Court on 11 February 2013. The respondents were the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship and the Migration Review Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the applicant had established sufficient grounds to justify setting aside the earlier judgment. This required the Court to consider the applicant's application filed on 28 February 2013, which sought to vacate the previous decision.

Judge Lindsay refused the application to set aside the judgment. The Court applied the principles governing applications to set aside judgments, which generally require a demonstration of a meritorious defence or other compelling circumstances. In this instance, the applicant failed to provide adequate reasons or evidence to persuade the Court that the original judgment should be disturbed. Consequently, the Court ordered that the applicant pay the respondent's costs of and incidental to this application, fixed at $400.
