Exactly how should the “best interests of children” be considered in a case involving visa cancellation on character grounds?

Or for that matter, in any other migration decision?

Can translation problems at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal be a source of jurisdictional error?

And if so, under what circumstances?

This is a question that must surely occur very frequently.

What is the consequence if the Tribunal makes a jurisdictional error?

Will that necessarily mean that in each and every case where jurisdictional error has occurred, the case must automatically be remitted back to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for a full re-hearing?

Suppose though that, even if there has been a jurisdictional error, there is an issue in the case, such that the criteria for the grant of the visa cannot possibly be satisfied.
