BPV16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1303

BPV16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1303

Although the delay was only one day and the Minister conceded no material prejudice, the proposed appeal was futile. The Tribunal applied the relevant protection visa tests, considered the applicant's claims, documents and country information, and made credibility findings that were open to it. The proposed grounds merely repeated disagreement with those findings or relied on factual premises rejected by the Tribunal, and did not show jurisdictional error or sufficient prospects of success to justify an extension of time.
