DZAAD v Department of Immigration and Citizenship [2013] FCA 204

The application for an extension of time to appeal was dismissed because the proposed grounds of appeal, including those regarding procedural fairness, apprehended bias, illogicality, and the Minister’s obligation to consider complementary protection, had no reasonable prospects of success. The procedural fairness claimed was adequately addressed, apprehended bias was not established, the reviewer's process was not illogical, and complementary protection provisions did not retroactively apply.
