MZYFP v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2010] FCA 881

Although the three-day delay was credibly explained and caused no prejudice, the application for an extension of time was refused because the applicant had no prospects of success on the proposed appeal: he could not identify any information relied on by the Tribunal that had not been provided to him under s 424A, and the Court could not discern any such undisclosed information from the Tribunal's letter and decision.
