Sagoa v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1044

Sagoa v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1044

The applicant's grounds for extension of time to review the visa cancellation are either irrelevant, lack merit, or have no prospect of success; procedural fairness was not denied as applicant was notified of possible Ministerial decision; constitutional challenges and other grounds are not applicable; breach of detention obligations under s 256 does not affect the visa cancellation decision; thus, the application for extension and request for adjournment are dismissed.
