Collins v Royal Australian Airforce [2000] FCA 208

There was insufficient evidence before the Tribunal to support a claim for compensable injury. The Tribunal provided a fair hearing and exercised appropriate care to facilitate the applicant's understanding. Thus, there is no fairly arguable case for an appeal and no basis for an extension of time to appeal.
