Singh v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 1196

Singh v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 1196

The applications for extension of time and leave to appeal were refused because the Federal Circuit Court's discretionary refusal to reinstate the judicial review application disclosed no House error, the applicant did not identify any appealable error, and the proposed grounds either sought impermissible merits review, raised a new and unmeritorious procedural fairness complaint, or made unparticularised allegations that could not establish error.
