Lee (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for review before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) in relation to a Temporary Business Entry (Class UC) visa, subclass 457. The applicant, Mr Lee, had been sponsored by an approved sponsor for this visa. The dispute arose when a fresh nomination application was lodged.

The primary legal issue before the AAT was whether the delegate's decision concerning the fresh nomination application was a reviewable decision. This question was critical to determining whether the AAT had jurisdiction to hear Mr Lee's application for review.

The AAT Member, Hugh Sanderson, reasoned that the delegate's decision in this specific circumstance was not subject to review by the Tribunal. Consequently, the application for review lodged by Mr Lee was not properly made. The AAT therefore concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the matter.
