Morton-Hicks (Migration)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning their application for a Partner (Temporary) (Class UK) visa, Subclass 820. The core of the dispute revolved around whether the applicant had satisfied the requirements of Public Interest Criterion (PIC) 4001 or 4002, specifically in relation to the submission of a French police clearance record. The decision was made by Melissa McAdam, a Member of the Tribunal.

The legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had met the criteria for the Subclass 820 visa, particularly concerning the character requirements stipulated by PIC 4001 or 4002, as evidenced by the provided French police clearance.

The Tribunal found that the applicant met regulation 2.03AA(2). Based on this finding, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration. The direction given was that the applicant satisfied the criteria for a Subclass 820 visa, specifically regulation 2.03AA(2).
