Mann v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 65

Mann v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 65

There was no sufficient merit in the proposed appeal to justify extending time. The Tribunal committed no jurisdictional error by giving Mr Mann 14 days to produce IELTS results from India, because 14 days was more than enough time to obtain them, and the Federal Circuit Court made no error in dismissing his application on that basis.
