AZADM v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 143

AZADM v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 143

Although the delay was only two days and caused no prejudice, the proposed appeal had no reasonable prospects of success. The proposed grounds challenged factual findings and the merits of the protection visa claim, which neither the Federal Circuit Court nor the Federal Court could review, and the complaint about difficulty obtaining evidence from India did not disclose denial of procedural fairness or any jurisdictional error. The application for an extension of time was therefore dismissed.
