AYX15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1037

AYX15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1037

The application for extension of time was dismissed because the delay of over 17 months was excessive and unexplained in any acceptable way. The applicant pursued other remedies instead of appealing and provided no evidence of steps taken to appeal within the time limit, nor was there any respondent conduct causing the delay. Further, the proposed grounds of appeal lacked reasonable prospects of success as no substantive breach of procedural fairness or jurisdictional error was identified.
