CLF15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 306

CLF15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 306

Although the applicant gave a reasonable explanation for a short delay and the Minister did not claim prejudice, the application for an extension of time was dismissed because no specific error by the Federal Circuit Court or the Tribunal was identified, the proposed ground misunderstood the basis of the Federal Circuit Court's dismissal, and any appeal would lack reasonable prospects of success. The Court also refused to receive the medical reports because they were not before the Tribunal, or did not exist when the Tribunal decided the matter, and could not establish legal error in the Tribunal's decision.

Procedural Posture

Migration Application for Extension of Time and Leave to Appeal / Application for an Extension of Time Within Which to Seek Leave to Appeal From the Federal Circuit Court Dismissed

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether an extension of time should be granted for the applicant to seek leave to appeal from the Federal Circuit Court decision.' 'Whether the proposed appeal had reasonable prospects of success or refusal of leave would cause substantial injustice.' 'Whether the Federal Circuit Court erred in dismissing the judicial review application under the show cause procedure.' 'Whether the medical reports tendered in the Federal Court could be received on the application for extension of time and leave to appeal.']

The Court also refused to receive the medical reports because they were not before the Tribunal, or did not exist when the Tribunal decided the matter, and could not establish legal error in the Tribunal's decision.
