Judicial review is a legal process that ensures the decisions made by the Minister or the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) under the Migration Act are in compliance with the law. If a Court determines that a decision was not made in accordance with the law, it has the authority to set aside or overturn that decision. This process is known as 'quashing' the decision under review.

There is a strict 35-day time limit for applying for judicial review of migration decisions. Only the Court can extend this limit in exceptional circumstances.

Judicial review of adverse migration decisions is a complicated legal process, and its outcome can have significant consequences for both successful and unsuccessful applicants. If you receive an adverse migration decision, it is critical to seek legal advice promptly. Please contact our Migration Legal Experts without delay.
