Singh v Minister for Immigration

Singh (the applicant) sought to reopen a previous decision made by the Minister for Immigration (the respondent) concerning his immigration status. The application to reopen the matter was dismissed by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the applicant's application to reopen the previous decision had any prospects of success.

Judge Vasta found that the applicant's application lacked merit and therefore had no reasonable prospect of success. Consequently, the Court dismissed the application and ordered the applicant to pay the respondent's costs.
