Khangura v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1358

Khangura v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1358

The applicant's explanation for the four-day delay was inadequate and the proposed appeal disclosed insufficient merit because it identified no error by the Federal Circuit Court or the Tribunal and at most sought merits reconsideration, which the Federal Court could not undertake on appeal from dismissal of judicial review. No error was evident in the Federal Circuit Court's conclusion that the Tribunal's findings about bogus documents and absence of compelling or compassionate circumstances were open on the evidence.
