Friends Family Practice Pty Ltd (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by Friends Family Practice Pty Ltd concerning the approval of a nominated position for migration purposes. The primary dispute revolved around the dismissal of the company's application by the Tribunal.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it was required to confirm the dismissal of the application, given that the review applicant had not sought reinstatement within the prescribed 14-day period following the initial dismissal.

The Tribunal reasoned that the legislative framework mandated the confirmation of a dismissal if an application for reinstatement was not filed within the specified timeframe. Consequently, in the absence of such an application, the decision under review was deemed to be affirmed. The Tribunal confirmed its prior decision to dismiss the application.
