SZCIA v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2006] FCA 238

SZCIA v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2006] FCA 238

The extension of time was refused because no arguable basis for appeal was shown. The Tribunal's reason for refusing the protection visa was the absence of sufficient material and detail enabling it to be satisfied of the applicant's claims, not undisclosed information that enlivened s 424A. The Chief Federal Magistrate was not shown to have erred, and there was no utility in extending time where the proposed appeal had no basis for success.
