BTR15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 892

BTR15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 892

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant's grounds did not identify any error in the primary judge's decision or any arguable jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's decision. The primary judge correctly applied the principles for reinstatement of an application dismissed in default and correctly concluded that any application before the Federal Circuit Court would have no prospects of success, so the decision was not attended by sufficient doubt to warrant reconsideration.

Migration Application for Leave to Appeal / Application for Leave to Appeal From Dismissal of Application to Reinstate Application for Judicial Review

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether leave to appeal should be granted from the Federal Circuit Court's refusal to reinstate the applicant's judicial review application."

Ratio Decidendi

The primary judge correctly applied the principles for reinstatement of an application dismissed in default and correctly concluded that any application before the Federal Circuit Court would have no prospects of success, so the decision was not attended by sufficient doubt to warrant reconsideration.
