Singh v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1909

Leave to appeal and extension of time were refused because the proposed grounds of appeal had no prospects of success. The Tribunal did not commit jurisdictional error or deny procedural fairness, as it reasonably concluded there was insufficient evidence of a genuine spousal relationship and gave adequate opportunities for further evidence to be provided.
