To go around or not to go around at minimum.
Having been readings couple of articles and watching a few video's relating to go arounds, there would appear to be different points at which one is initiated.
What does appear to be clear is that if no Landing Clarence has been received at minimum and the runway can not be seen then a go around is initiated.
However the situations can be more varied take the following situations ?

Its been discussed here already,try the search function.
What you mean by minimum?Are you refering to precision approach?In that case the answer would be NO?
A go around can be initiated any time until reversers are deployed,however it is not recommended to go around below 50 ft and thrust idle as it is rarely practiced,and due to thrust spool up time.It becomes a risk management area,where the pilot needs to manage whether a balk landing is safer than a continued landing,i honestly would balk land as it is a maneuver that it is not that difficult if trained and practiced during recurrent training.
If you are cleared to land and the runway is being vacated,no need to go around.
My airline minima for a late landing clearance is 50 ft.
Previous aircraft is vacating the runway, and the runway can be clearly seen is a go around mandatory at the minimum ?

Generally speaking, the minima for an instrument approach is predicated solely on becoming visual (or not) and has nothing to do with aircraft on the runway- that is an entirely different consideration.
The different consideration is whether or not you have adequate separation between other aircraft. More than often it is a safe bet that if the tower has cleared you to land, the minimum separation is (or will be) present. Separation standards will be listed in your regs/operational documents somewhere.
Of course, if there is any doubt as to your safety if the approach and landing is continued, go around.
