AJS16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1295

AJS16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1295

Although the delay was not long and the Minister was not prejudiced, an extension of time was refused because neither proposed ground of appeal had any reasonable prospect of success. The Tribunal had considered the applicant's claims, credibility, evidence and country information, and its adverse findings and conclusions on the refugee and complementary protection criteria were open to it. The applicant identified no denial of procedural fairness, no failure to complete the statutory task, and no error by the primary judge in finding no jurisdictional error.

Migration; Application for Extension of Time to Appeal From Federal Circuit Court Dismissal of Judicial Review Application / Application for Extension of Time to File a Notice of Appeal

Legal Issues
