Caddeo (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review concerning a Temporary Business Entry (Class UC) visa, subclass 457. The applicant sought review of a decision made by a delegate, which related to sponsorship by an approved sponsor and the nomination of an occupation.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the delegate's decision was reviewable by the AAT. Specifically, the Tribunal had to determine if it possessed jurisdiction to hear the application for review, given the nature of the decision made by the delegate.

The Tribunal reasoned that the delegate's decision, in the circumstances presented, was not a Tribunal-reviewable decision. Consequently, the application for review was not validly made, and the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the matter. The Tribunal concluded that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
