CNJ15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 584

CNJ15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 584

The application was dismissed because the merits of the proposed appeal were determinative: the applicant did not argue the stated grounds, none could have succeeded given that he had not attended before the Tribunal, the Tribunal was entitled on the scant material before it to conclude that the applicant had not made out a claim for a protection visa or complementary protection, and the oral claim about needing police documents did not establish error because it had not been made before the Tribunal and was expressed only at a high level of generality.

Application for an Extension of Time and Leave to Appeal in a Migration Matter / Appeal From Orders of the Federal Circuit Court Dismissing an Application for Review of an Administrative Appeals Tribunal Decision Affirming Refusal of a Protection Visa

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the applicant should be granted an extension of time to seek leave to appeal.' 'Whether the applicant had a reasonable chance of succeeding on the proposed appeal from the Federal Circuit Court.'
