Tukala v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2023] FCA 74

The application for extension of time to appeal was dismissed because none of the proposed grounds of appeal were reasonably arguable; the delay, although short and explained, was not sufficient to overcome the absence of any merit in the appeal. The interests of justice and s 37M of the Federal Court of Australia Act require refusal where prospects of success are lacking.
