Migration Law
Migration Judicial Review Lawyers Melbourne
Melbourne migration judicial review advice for Federal Circuit and Family Court and Federal Court proceedings based on legal error.
Understanding Judicial Review in the Federal Courts
Judicial review is not a second merits review. It is a court challenge based on legal error, usually after a tribunal or migration decision-maker has gone wrong in the way the decision was made. The court does not substitute its own preferred migration outcome. Instead, it asks whether the decision was affected by jurisdictional error or another reviewable legal problem.
Vitt Legal advises Melbourne clients on whether a migration matter has a viable judicial review pathway in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia or the Federal Court. We examine the reasons carefully and give realistic advice about whether the case is truly about legal error or whether the merits have simply run out.
