M152 of 2003 v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2003] FCA 1415

The applicant's claims before the Tribunal were rejected on grounds that the evidence did not plausibly support the narrative, the convictions and identities were not linked, and there was no duty on the Tribunal to make further inquiries. The allegations of procedural unfairness or jurisdictional error are without merit. As the applicants' case is without merit and brought outside the applicable time limits, the extension of time is refused.

Procedural Posture

Judicial Review Application (extension of Time, Prohibition, Certiorari, Declaration, Remitter From High Court) / Judgment After Hearing on Extension of Time and Merits, on Remitter From High Court

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the Refugee Review Tribunal denied procedural fairness to the applicant;' 'Whether the Tribunal misled the applicant about what was required to support his claim;' 'Whether the Tribunal was under a duty to make further inquiries into evidence;' "Whether the Tribunal failed to assess the son's claim or lacked jurisdiction;" 'Whether an extension of time should be granted to bring the application;']

Ratio Decidendi

The applicant's claims before the Tribunal were rejected on grounds that the evidence did not plausibly support the narrative, the convictions and identities were not linked, and there was no duty on the Tribunal to make further inquiries. The allegations of procedural unfairness or jurisdictional error are without merit. As the applicants' case is without merit and brought outside the applicable time limits, the extension of time is refused.

Court Disposition

Application for extension of time refused; proceedings dismissed; costs awarded to second respondent.

Orders

  • ['The application for an extension of time in which to bring these proceedings be refused.' 'The proceedings be dismissed.' "The applicants pay the second respondent's costs of the proceedings, such costs to be taxed in default of agreement."]
