Innovation Group (AUST) PTY LTD (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an appeal by Innovation Group (AUST) PTY LTD concerning a migration nomination application that had been dismissed. The applicant's authorised representative failed to attend the hearing before the Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether to affirm or set aside the delegate's decision to dismiss the migration nomination application, particularly in light of the non-attendance of the applicant's authorised representative at the review hearing.

The Tribunal confirmed the delegate's decision to dismiss the application. This outcome was based on the failure of the applicant's authorised representative to attend the hearing, which led to the application being taken to be affirmed under section 362B(1F) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the original decision.
