Engi and Minister for Home Affairs (Migration) [2018] AATA 4037

CaseChat Overview and Summary
The applicant, Engi, sought judicial review of a decision by the Minister for Home Affairs to cancel their visa under section 501BA of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth). The matter came before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).
The central legal issue before the AAT was whether the Tribunal possessed the statutory authority to review a visa cancellation decision made personally by the Minister under section 501BA of the *Migration Act*.
The AAT determined that the *Migration Act* did not confer jurisdiction upon the Tribunal to review decisions made under section 501BA(2). Consequently, the Tribunal concluded it lacked the power to review the Minister's decision.
Accordingly, the application for review was dismissed.
