We had a successful outcome in a recent case before the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), where our legal team successfully challenged a decision by the Department of Home Affairs to cancel a visa under section 501 of the Migration Act 1958.
The Tribunal, after careful consideration, set aside the Department’s original decision, determining it was incorrect. The ART not only overturned the Department’s decision but also exercised its authority to substitute a new decision in favour of our client, effectively reinstating their right to remain in Australia.
This victory is a testament to IR Legal’s deep expertise in complex immigration and administrative law matters. Our team worked diligently to prepare and present a compelling case, ensuring the Tribunal had clear and persuasive evidence supported by strong legal submissions.
Visa cancellations under section 501 can have profound and lasting consequences for individuals and their families. Successfully challenging such a decision requires not only a detailed understanding of the law but also the ability to advocate effectively within a complex tribunal framework. This result is a significant win, not only for our client but also as a broader reminder of the importance of procedural fairness and accountability in administrative decision-making.
At IR Legal, we remain committed to standing up for our clients’ rights and ensuring every person is treated fairly under the laws of Australia and New Zealand.
