The application was barred by res judicata and, alternatively, by Anshun estoppel due to the prior consent dismissal of earlier proceedings which raised or should have raised the same grounds. There were no exceptional circumstances justifying extension of time or relief from estoppel. The Tribunal had considered the applicant’s material claims, and no jurisdictional error was established.
