Walnish Pty Ltd (Migration)

Walnish Pty Ltd (Migration) concerned an application for review of a decision made by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. The applicant, Walnish Pty Ltd, sought to have a decision of the Tribunal reviewed.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the Tribunal’s decision to dismiss Walnish Pty Ltd’s application for review was appropriate, particularly in circumstances where no appearance was made at the review hearing and a subsequent application for reinstatement on unspecified medical grounds was refused.

The Tribunal confirmed its earlier decision to dismiss the application. This confirmation meant that, pursuant to s 362B(1F) of the relevant legislation, the decision under review was taken to be affirmed. The Member of the Tribunal, Antonio Dronjic, made this determination.
