BZAGD v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 670

There was no error in the Federal Circuit Court's refusal to set aside the notice of discontinuance or to grant an extension of time. The applicant's voluntary action was not induced by the respondents, and no jurisdictional error or denial of procedural fairness was established. The application for leave to appeal and the appeal itself had no real prospects of success.
