BCM17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1177

BCM17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1177

The application for extension of time was dismissed because the lengthy delay was inadequately explained, and the proposed grounds of appeal were of no substance. The Tribunal had assessed all relevant material and properly understood the legislative requirements for serious harm; the applicant's complaints amounted to disagreement with the Tribunal's evaluation rather than legal error.
