Hussain v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2013] FCA 1207

Hussain v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2013] FCA 1207

The application for extension of time must be refused because, although the applicant's delay is sufficiently explained by his personal circumstances, the proposed appeal has no realistic prospects of success as the Tribunal was correct in law and not affected by jurisdictional error; the applicant objectively failed to meet the relevant visa criterion and the Tribunal acted within its powers.
