CJA15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 170

The application was dismissed because the applicant failed to demonstrate any merit to the proposed appeal and did not identify any error or jurisdictional defect in the earlier judgments. The explanation for delay was satisfactory given the short period and personal circumstances, but the absence of merit in the grounds of appeal was fatal to the application.
