Dab Trading Pty Ltd Aft the Dab Trading Unit Trust (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for review brought by Dab Trading Pty Ltd Aft the Dab Trading Unit Trust. The core of the dispute concerned the applicant's legal standing to pursue the review, given its status as a deregistered company.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether a deregistered company, having ceased to exist as a legal entity, retained the capacity to make a valid application for review and, consequently, whether the Tribunal possessed jurisdiction to hear the matter.

The Tribunal reasoned that a company that has been deregistered is no longer a legal entity capable of initiating or maintaining legal proceedings. As Dab Trading Pty Ltd Aft the Dab Trading Unit Trust had been deregistered, it lacked the legal standing to apply for a review. Accordingly, the Tribunal concluded that it did not have jurisdiction to entertain the application.
