Milekovic, An application by

This matter concerned an application by Mr. Milekovic for leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia against a decision of the Full Federal Court. The dispute arose from an application made by Mr. Milekovic to the Federal Court seeking judicial review of a decision by the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs to refuse to grant him a visa. The Full Federal Court had dismissed Mr. Milekovic's appeal from the Federal Court's decision.

The primary legal issue before Justice Kirby, sitting in chambers, was whether Mr. Milekovic had demonstrated an arguable case of error on the part of the Full Federal Court, thereby satisfying the threshold for granting leave to appeal to the High Court. This involved considering whether the Full Federal Court had misapplied or misunderstood relevant legal principles in its determination of Mr. Milekovic's appeal.

Justice Kirby considered the grounds of appeal advanced by Mr. Milekovic, which related to the interpretation and application of provisions within the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth) and associated regulations. His Honour reviewed the Full Federal Court's reasoning and concluded that no arguable error of law had been demonstrated. The application for leave to appeal was therefore refused.
