CWW16 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2023] FCA 1435

The applicant provided some explanation for the delay but failed to demonstrate any merit in the proposed grounds for appeal, and therefore the interests of justice did not warrant granting an extension of time. The application for extension was dismissed under well-established principles governing extension applications, due to lack of acceptable explanation and absence of merit in the substantive grounds.
