Poonia v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1120

Poonia v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1120

The application for an extension of time was dismissed because the proposed appeal had no prospects of success and the applicant failed to attend the adjourned hearing without an adequate explanation. The Tribunal's reasons did not make specific reference to the PRISMS records, and the adverse credibility findings arose from conflicting evidence provided by the applicant rather than from information that enlivened s 359A of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth).
