BTM15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 888

BTM15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 888

The application was dismissed because, although an acceptable explanation for delay was accepted, the proposed appeal had insufficient prospects of success. The Tribunal had considered the disputed documents and made factual findings that they were not genuine, and the Federal Circuit Court disclosed no arguable error in holding that no jurisdictional error was shown. The applicants identified no sufficient basis for procedural unfairness or bias, and no factual foundation justified leave to raise those allegations as fresh grounds.
