Guo v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2004] FCA 1585

Deputy President Handley's decisions not to reinstate the application and not to extend time for review were lawfully made; the phrase 'dismissed in error' was incorrectly interpreted, but substantive findings were sufficiently supported and interests of applicant's children were properly weighed as a primary consideration in context; no jurisdictional or reviewable error was established.
