Applicant S1756/03 v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 279

Applicant S1756/03 v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 279

The applicant had more than sufficient time to identify an arguable ground of error by the Federal Magistrate or an arguable jurisdictional error in the RRT decision, but failed to do so. Nothing before the Court suggested any prospect of disturbing the Federal Magistrate's discretionary decision to dismiss the proceedings as an abuse of process. Because there were no prospects of success on appeal, leave to appeal was refused.
