BXD15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1209

BXD15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1209

The appeal was dismissed because there was no appellable error in the Federal Circuit Court's exercise of discretion in refusing to reinstate the application dismissed for want of appearance; the appeal was incompetent as leave had not been sought in time, and the grounds of appeal were without merit. The invalidly issued non-disclosure certificates had no prejudicial impact on the outcome since the material subject to them was irrelevant to the issues in the case.
