CNC15 v Federal Circuit Court of Australia [2017] FCA 1540

CNC15 v Federal Circuit Court of Australia [2017] FCA 1540

The Federal Circuit Court did not err in refusing to extend time, as the applicant's proposed grounds for judicial review did not have reasonable prospects of success. The Tribunal considered the effect of the withdrawal of international forces and the applicant's claims, and its findings on country information were sufficient, so no jurisdictional error was established.
