Yama v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 1459

The applicant's motion for an extension of time was dismissed because he failed to attend the hearing, enlivening the Court's power under s 25(2B)(bb)(ii), and because, in any event, although the delay was short, adequately explained and caused no relevant prejudice, the draft notice of appeal identified no error by the Federal Magistrate and the proposed appeal had low prospects of success.
