AZX21 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FCA 1379

The application for extension of time was dismissed as the applicant offered no adequate explanation for delay, the proposed new ground was not raised below with insufficient justification for omission, and the alleged error regarding Claymore mines did not involve illogicality or irrationality critical to the decision. The proposed ground lacked merit and was not material to the outcome. Consequently, neither leave to raise a new ground nor extension of time was warranted.
