Section 137L — Dealing with the application
137L Dealing with the application
(1) On an application under section 137K, the Minister may revoke the cancellation if, and only if, the applicant satisfies the Minister:
(a) that the non-citizen did not in fact breach the relevant visa condition or conditions; or
(b) that the breach was due to exceptional circumstances beyond the non-citizen’s control; or
(c) of any other matter prescribed in the regulations.
(2) However, the Minister must not revoke the cancellation on the ground that the non-citizen was unaware of the notice or of the effect of section 137J.
(3) A cancellation is revoked under this section by the Minister causing a record of the revocation to be made.
