KAUR & ANOR
v
MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND BORDER PROTECTION & ANOR
[2019] HCASL 4
C13/2018
There is no reason to doubt that the decision of the Federal Court of Australia was correct. An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospect of success. The application for special leave to appeal should be dismissed.
Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.

CaseChat Overview and Summary
The case of Kaur and Anor v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection & Anor involved a challenge against the decisions of the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. The applicants, Kaur and another, sought to appeal against the Federal Court's decision that dismissed their case regarding the cancellation of their visas on character grounds. The High Court of Australia was the forum for the appeal.
The primary legal issues that the court had to address were whether the Federal Court correctly exercised its discretion to refuse special leave to appeal and whether there was an arguable case for the appeal to be allowed. The court needed to determine if the applicants had presented a valid argument that the Federal Court had erred in its assessment of the merits of the case.
In delivering the decision, the court found that the applicants had not demonstrated that there was an arguable case for the appeal to succeed. The court held that the applicants had not shown that the Federal Court made an error in law or fact that would warrant a review of the decision. The court further noted that there was no reason to doubt the correctness of the Federal Court's decision. Therefore, the appeal was deemed to have no prospect of success. As a result, the application for special leave to appeal was dismissed.
The court's final order was that the Registrar was to draw up, sign, and seal an order dismissing the application for special leave to appeal, in accordance with rule 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth).
