Arasu v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 1278

Arasu v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 1278

Although the applicants gave reasons for the delay and the Minister accepted that the delay caused no prejudice, the applicants identified no proposed grounds or arguable error in the Federal Circuit Court's decision. Having considered the Tribunal's decision, the primary judge's reasons and the Regulations, the Court was satisfied that the Tribunal's decision and the primary judge's decision were correct, so granting an extension of time would be futile.
