WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF SUCCESS?

An appeal from an AAT decision must be successful if the applicant can persuade the judge considering the case that the AAT made a legal error that affected the decision under appeal.

Errors of law might include:

• Denying procedural fairness to a party; or
• Incorrectly interpreting a statute relevant to the proceeding.

However, even when an error of law is demonstrated, the Judge may dismiss the appeal if he or she considers that the AAT arrived at a decision that was correct on the material before it.

The judge considering an appeal of an immigration case officer's ruling:

• Does not take into account any new evidence or information not previously submitted in the case (except under specific conditions);
• Does not call witnesses to testify;
• Has perused every pertinent document that the parties in the initial case submitted;
• Does hear the legal defenses made by each appeal party.
