Guo v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 134

Guo v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 134

There was no sufficient prospect of the applicant’s appeal succeeding to warrant an extension of time. The allegations of bias and procedural unfairness were not supported by evidence, and the Tribunal and primary judge acted within statutory requirements. The applicant’s failure to respond to the s 359A letter and absence of fraud or jurisdictional error meant refusal to grant extension was appropriate.
