Pasham v Minister for Immigration

This matter concerned an application for judicial review of a decision made by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). The applicant, Mr Pasham, sought review of the AAT's decision concerning his application for an Employer Nomination (Class EN) (Subclass 186) visa.

The central legal issue before the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia was whether the AAT had misapplied the relevant migration law when it refused Mr Pasham's visa application. The Court was required to determine if there was an arguable case for the relief sought by Mr Pasham.

Judge Street found that the AAT had not misapplied the law. The Court concluded that Mr Pasham had not established an arguable case for the relief he sought, and therefore, the application for judicial review was dismissed.
