Immigration and Protection Tribunal appeals
A careful assessment of the decision, the evidence and the available appeal rights is the starting point for effective representation.
Understanding the available appeal
The Immigration and Protection Tribunal considers specified categories of immigration appeal, including residence, deportation and refugee or protection matters. Not every immigration decision can be appealed to the Tribunal. We review the decision and your circumstances to assess whether an appeal is available and what issues can be put before the Tribunal.
Preparing the case
An appeal requires more than disagreement with the outcome. We examine the reasons for the decision, the relevant history and the supporting material. We work with you to identify the important facts, organise evidence and develop focused submissions. Harris will explain the proposed approach and the strengths and difficulties that need to be considered.
Representation and communication
You work directly with Harris throughout the agreed engagement. We discuss the steps involved, the information needed from you and the scope of representation. Where a matter requires expertise outside the firm’s practice, we can help connect you with an appropriate professional. Our advice is directed to your circumstances rather than an assumed outcome.
Act promptly after a decision
Tribunal appeals have specific filing timeframes. Please seek advice promptly and tell us the decision date, when you received it and any deadline stated in the correspondence. Do not assume that making an enquiry extends a deadline. We will confirm consultation arrangements and explain how to provide the relevant documents.
