Saharan v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1431

Saharan v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1431

There is no reasonable prospect of success in the proposed grounds of appeal as they centre on factual merits not legally reviewable, and the Tribunal properly discharged its obligation to put information regarding enrolment to the applicant for comment. The brief delay in appeal filing and lack of prejudice do not justify granting an extension when no legitimate appeal ground exists.

There is no reasonable prospect of success in the proposed grounds of appeal as they centre on factual merits not legally reviewable, and the Tribunal properly discharged its obligation to put information regarding enrolment to the applicant for comment.
