CSO16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1012

CSO16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1012

The Court refused to extend time because, even leaving aside the explanation for the short delay, the proposed application for leave to appeal was without merit and no purpose would be served by extending time. The proposed grounds either lacked meaningful content, disclosed no error by the Federal Circuit Court, were raised for the first time without leave, or were contradicted by the record, including that the Tribunal had considered the complementary protection provisions and the primary judge had addressed the timetabling anomaly.

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether time should be extended for the applicant to seek leave to appeal from the Federal Circuit Court judgment.'
