P38/2003 v Refugee Review Tribunal [2004] FCA 1767

P38/2003 v Refugee Review Tribunal [2004] FCA 1767

The application for extension of time to file and serve a notice of appeal was refused because the proposed grounds of appeal (procedural unfairness due to alleged non-consideration of 'Part B' documents) did not have sufficient strength to justify an extension, as the underlying decision was based on the applicant's lack of credibility and there was no evidence that the documents could have made a material difference to the outcome.
