SZDNU v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2004] FCA 1633

The application for an extension of time was dismissed because the applicant had not satisfactorily explained the nine-day delay and, more importantly, the proposed appeal disclosed no arguable ground and had no prospects of success; any appeal would be a further attempt at merits review and an abuse of process defeated by res judicata, issue estoppel and Anshun principles.
