ABD15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 928

The applicant’s explanation for delay was unsatisfactory but not prejudicial; however, none of the proposed grounds of appeal demonstrated sufficient merit or doubt regarding the primary judge’s decision to justify an extension of time or leave to appeal. No error or jurisdictional error had been identified, and the grounds did not indicate any basis for appellate reconsideration.
