In this case, the Applicant, Mr Singh, applied for leave to amend his Application for a Migration visa. The application was originally filed under r.16.05(2)(a) of the Migration Regulations 1994 (Cth) but the Applicant sought to amend it to seek an exemption from a requirement of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). The Minister for Immigration opposed the application on the grounds that it was not within the jurisdiction of the Court and that it would cause delay and prejudice to the Minister. The Applicant argued that the amendment was necessary to allow the Court to properly consider the merits of his application and that it would not cause any undue delay or prejudice to the Minister.

The Court found that the amendment was permissible under r.16.05(2)(a) of the Migration Regulations 1994 (Cth) and that it was appropriate to grant leave for the amendment to be made. The Court held that the amendment would not cause any undue delay or prejudice to the Minister and that it was in the interests of justice to allow the amendment to be made. The Court further held that the amendment was necessary to allow the Court to properly consider the merits of the Applicant's application and that it was appropriate to grant leave for the amendment to be made. The Court noted that the Minister had not provided any evidence to support his claim that the amendment would cause any undue delay or prejudice to him. The Court also held that the Applicant's application for an exemption from a requirement of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) was within the jurisdiction of the Court.
