MZABC v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 856

Although the 12 day delay was not lengthy and caused no prejudice, the proposed appeal had no merit. The Tribunal correctly identified and applied the two limbs of the relocation test, considered the applicant's objections and particular circumstances, and no jurisdictional error was shown. The Federal Circuit Court was correct to dismiss the judicial review application.
