The appellant is a 21 year old citizen of India who was granted a student visa on 27 May 2014. Judge Jones found that the appellant had been enrolled in a course of study at the commencement of 2016 for a diploma of hospitality which had a duration of one year, but that the appellant had terminated her enrolment in 2016 and had worked during August and September 2016 in excess of 40 hours a fortnight. The course in which she ought to have been enrolled was in session during the period in which she worked in excess of 40 hours a fortnight but she was in fact not enrolled in the course at that time. The appellant may, therefore, have been in breach of condition 8202(2)(a) because she was not enrolled in a course but the delegate had based the decision to cancel the visa, and the Minister had contended in the Federal Circuit Court and on appeal, on being in breach of condition 8105.
