Wei v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 1552

Wei v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 1552

Although the short delay in filing was not itself sufficient to refuse an extension of time, the proposed appeal had no prospects of success. The Full Court authorities displaced the applicant's reliance on Shrestha, this was not a case of automatic cancellation, deficiencies in the s 20 ESOS Act notice were not relevant, and nothing indicated jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's decision affirming cancellation for breach of condition 8202. The application for an extension of time was therefore dismissed with costs.
