AOY17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2020] FCA 261

AOY17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2020] FCA 261

Leave to amend the notice of appeal and rely on new grounds was refused because no explanation for the lateness and omission was provided, entertaining new grounds would undermine the appellate structure under s 476A of the Migration Act, and the proposed new grounds lacked merit. Accordingly, the appeal was dismissed as no proper grounds remained.
