AMU17 v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1965

AMU17 v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1965

It was not in the interests of justice to grant an extension of time because the delay of between 79 and 107 days beyond the 21 day time limit was significant, the applicant failed to provide a frank and detailed explanation for that delay, and the proposed appeal was devoid of merit: reg 2.08F made the Class XA application a valid Class XD protection visa application, the Tribunal acted within its powers in substituting a refusal of a Class XD visa, and no jurisdictional error was shown in relation to the Tribunal's reasoning.
