CATCHWORDS

LEGISLATION

Migration Act 1958, s 65

STATEMENT OF DECISION AND REASONS

APPLICATION FOR REVIEW

1. This is an application for review of a decision made by a delegate of the Minister for Home Affairs on 17 October 2018 made by ROSE VIEW CORPORATE PTY LTD. For the following reasons, the Tribunal finds that it does not have jurisdiction.

2. Information from the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) register shows that ROSE VIEW CORPORATE PTY LTD was deregistered on 3 November 2019. There is no evidence before the Tribunal that the company’s registration has been reinstated with ASIC since that time.

3. Generally speaking, a company that is deregistered ceases to exist as a legal entity: s.601AD(1) of the Corporations Act 2001. As an application for review of this type may only be made by the relevant sponsor or nominator, the effect of deregistration is that there is no longer a person who has standing to apply for, or continue with, an application for review.

4. The Tribunal invited comments on its preliminary view that it did not have jurisdiction because the company had been deregistered. There was no response to the Tribunal’s letter.

5. The Tribunal finds that ROSE VIEW CORPORATE PTY LTD has been deregistered and that it has ceased to exist as a legal entity. Accordingly, it follows that there is no longer a valid application for review.

   DECISION

6. The Tribunal does not have jurisdiction in this matter.
