von Kraft v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 917

The appeal was dismissed because the Federal Magistrate made no error in applying s 477 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) and correctly held that the application for review was out of time and incompetent. In any event, no jurisdictional error by the Tribunal was established: the Tribunal considered the required prescribed circumstances, including the children's interests as a primary consideration, and the appellant's objections largely challenged factual findings or merits matters that were not open on appeal.
