Successful Administrative Appeals Tribunal Appeal, Subclass 457 Nomination

Agoston Tamas acted for a client company in a Subclass 457 nomination appeal to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). The client’s business, subject of the Subclass 457 nomination appeal to the AAT, involved a corporate structure with multiple associated entities.

The client was the trustee company for a trust, and its owners also operated various other trustee companies. Together, these entities operated a variety of hospitality venues.

The Department of Home Affairs refused the original nomination application, which had been lodged by the client’s previous migration agent, on the basis that the position was not genuine.

In its decision, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal noted that it had far greater relevant documentary evidence before it than was available to the delegate of the Department of Home Affairs.

The written submissions and documentary evidence provided to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal satisfied the AAT that the position associated with the nominated occupation was genuine.

Moreover, the AAT found the arguments submitted for the client so compelling that a hearing was not necessary. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal was able to decide in favour of the client based on the written submissions and provided evidence.
