SZHTW v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1086

The applicant's delay was brief and acceptably explained, but the underlying substantive case lacked sufficient merit. The use of a false name did not invalidate the application, and there was no jurisdictional error shown. No sufficient prospects of success justified granting an extension of time.
