Harisheela Pty Ltd (Migration)

Harisheela Pty Ltd sought review of a decision concerning an employer nomination. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered whether it had jurisdiction to hear the application for review.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it retained jurisdiction to consider an application for review when the applicant, a company, had been deregistered and ceased to exist as a legal entity.

The Tribunal reasoned that a deregistered company no longer possesses legal personality and therefore cannot maintain a legal proceeding or have a valid application for review. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the matter.

The Tribunal made no orders as it found it had no jurisdiction.
