ZHAO v Minister for Immigration

In *Zhao v Minister for Immigration*, the applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Migration Review Tribunal (MRT) concerning a Temporary Business Entry (class UC) visa. The applicant alleged jurisdictional error on the part of the MRT.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the MRT had committed jurisdictional error in its assessment of the applicant's visa application. This required the court to consider the scope of the MRT's powers and the proper application of the relevant migration legislation.

Justice Street found that the MRT had not engaged in jurisdictional error. The Tribunal had considered the evidence before it and applied the relevant legal provisions to the facts as it found them. Consequently, the court determined that the proceedings were without merit and ordered their summary dismissal.
