CNM16 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2019] FCA 1358

CNM16 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2019] FCA 1358

The application for an extension of time was dismissed because none of the proposed grounds of appeal had any prospect of success. The information in the s 438 documents was not materially different from the summary in the delegate's decision and nothing in those documents, if known to the applicants, could have made any difference to the outcome before the Tribunal. No arguable jurisdictional error by the Tribunal or error by the Federal Circuit Court was shown.
