CZO18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 1320

CZO18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 1320

An extension of time is granted because, in the circumstances where the only explanation for delay was misunderstanding and the delay was minor with little prejudice, the arguable issue of materiality concerning the IAA’s failure to consider Facebook posts justified the extension. The failure to consider identity documents was not material, but the relevance of the Facebook posts could only be determined at a full appeal hearing.
