Lindsay, Mary v Rose, Christopher, Registrar of the Immigration Review Tribunal & Anor [1996] FCA 702

The applicant's delay of over four years in bringing the application was not adequately explained and implicated public interest concerns. The delay disentitled her to extension of time and discretionary relief; her claims disclosed no reasonable cause of action as the respondents lacked authority to make the determinations challenged.
