: What happens if I miss a scheduled court hearing in my migration case?

: If you miss a scheduled court hearing, your application can be dismissed for non-attendance, as seen in this case where the applicant's judicial review application was dismissed when he did not appear at the callover hearing.

: Can I have my case reinstated if I provide an excuse for my absence?

: You may seek reinstatement of your case, but the court will consider whether your excuse for absence is reasonable, alongside any potential prejudice to the other party and your chances of success on the original application. In this case, the applicant did not have a reasonable excuse for missing the hearing, leading to the court denying reinstatement.

: What must I prove to successfully appeal a decision in a migration case?

: To successfully appeal a decision, you must demonstrate that there was jurisdictional error, such as the tribunal taking irrelevant matters into account, not providing a fair hearing, or failing to consider significant claims. In this case, the applicant was unable to show any of these errors, resulting in the dismissal of his appeal.
