Maya Enterprises Pty Ltd ATF The Golla Family Trust (Migration)

Maya Enterprises Pty Ltd ATF The Golla Family Trust (Migration) concerned an application for review before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. The applicant sought to challenge a decision made by the Department of Home Affairs regarding the approval of a nomination.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it was required to confirm the dismissal of the applicant's application for review. This arose due to the applicant's failure to attend a scheduled hearing before the Tribunal.

The Tribunal's reasoning was that the applicant had not applied for reinstatement of their application within the prescribed 14-day period following the dismissal. Consequently, under the relevant migration legislation and Tribunal rules, the Tribunal was mandated to confirm the decision to dismiss the application. The Tribunal affirmed that the decision under review was therefore taken to be affirmed. The Tribunal confirmed the decision to dismiss the application.
