SZRBN v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 984

The application for leave to appeal was dismissed because the original application for judicial review was filed outside the time prescribed by s 477(1) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), no extension of time was sought or warranted due to lack of merit, and no substantial injustice would be suffered by refusing leave; the grounds for judicial review were without merit and did not warrant reconsideration of the decision.
