FBF19 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs

The applicant, FBF19, sought judicial review of a decision made by the Immigration Assessment Authority (IAA) affirming the refusal to grant a Safe Haven Enterprise visa. The application was brought under section 476 of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth). The matter was heard by Judge Manousaridis in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the IAA had committed a jurisdictional error in its decision-making process. The applicant contended that such an error had occurred, thereby entitling them to relief under section 476 of the Act.

Judge Manousaridis found that no jurisdictional error had been demonstrated. The Court's reasoning, based on the material before it, concluded that the IAA had acted within its powers and had not made any errors that would vitiate its decision. Consequently, the application for remedies was dismissed.

The Court ordered that the application be dismissed and that the applicant pay the first respondent's costs in the amount of $7,467.
