SZIDS v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2008] FCA 1067

SZIDS v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2008] FCA 1067

The extension of time was refused because any appeal would be bound to fail: the applicant's earlier Federal Magistrates Court proceeding challenging the Tribunal decision had been dismissed by consent, that dismissal was binding and capable of giving rise to res judicata and issue estoppel, and Cameron FM was correct to hold that the judicial review claim had already been determined and could not be re-litigated.

Procedural Posture

Application for an Extension of Time Within Which to Appeal / Urgent Federal Court Application Following Dismissal by Cameron FM of an Application for Review of a Refugee Review Tribunal Decision

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the applicant should be granted an extension of time within which to appeal from the decision of Cameron FM made on 22 October 2007' 'Whether any appeal would be futile because it would be bound to fail' "Whether the applicant's claim for judicial review on the basis of jurisdictional error had already been determined and could not be re-litigated"]
