DNX16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1896

DNX16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1896

The extension of time was refused because the proposed grounds of appeal, read impressionistically in light of the Tribunal's reasons and the primary judge's decision, had no prospect of success. The grounds did not identify an arguable error of law, misunderstanding of the applicant's claims, or any duty to inquire capable of affecting the outcome. Accordingly, there was no proper basis to grant an extension of time, and the application for leave to appeal was dismissed as out of time.
