Slevin (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review concerning a Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme visa. The applicant, Mr. Slevin, had his visa application dismissed by the Department of Home Affairs. He subsequently sought review of this decision by the AAT.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it was required to confirm the dismissal of Mr. Slevin's application. This question arose because Mr. Slevin failed to attend a scheduled hearing before the Tribunal.

The Tribunal's reasoning was based on the procedural rules governing such applications. As Mr. Slevin did not make an application for reinstatement of his review application within the prescribed 14-day period following his failure to attend the hearing, the Tribunal was mandated to confirm the original dismissal decision. Consequently, the decision under review was treated as affirmed.

The Tribunal confirmed the decision to dismiss the application.
