SZUMX v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1021

SZUMX v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1021

The applicant failed to raise any arguable case of legal error in the Federal Circuit Court’s refusal of judicial review of the RRT decision. Consequently, there was no basis to grant an extension of time or leave to appeal; the central question was the merit of the underlying appeal and, as none existed, the application had to be dismissed.
