SZISB v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1496

The applicant identified no arguable error by the Tribunal or the Federal Magistrate. The Tribunal was entitled under s 426A to decide the protection visa review after the applicant failed to attend the hearing, it addressed each of his claims, applied the correct law, and reached conclusions open to it on the limited material provided. Because the applicant had no prospect of succeeding on an appeal, the extension of time to seek leave to appeal was refused.
