CBM19 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2021] FCA 551

The applicant's explanation for delay was not compelling and the proposed grounds of appeal lacked merit. There was insufficient evidence to challenge the fairness of the interpretation at the prior hearing, and the prospects of a successful appeal were very poor. Accordingly, the court dismissed the application for extension of time and leave to appeal, with costs to the first respondent.
