BHX18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 705

BHX18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 705

The application for an extension of time was dismissed as the case was found to be weak on the merits, with no reasonable prospect of success on any proposed ground of appeal. The applicant's explanation for delay did not outweigh the lack of merit in the grounds for appeal, and the statutory scheme did not require the Authority to act in the manner alleged by the applicant.
