Kaur v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1600

The grounds advanced in the Federal Court merely repeated the grounds put before the Federal Circuit Court and did not identify error in the primary Judge's reasons. Because neither the primary Judge nor the Federal Court could extend time for the appellants to provide documents, and no error by the Tribunal or the primary Judge was established, the appeal had to be dismissed.
