SZJQX v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2008] FCA 234

The applicant gave no explanation for the delay and no special reason for extending time. His proposed grounds and submissions sought, in substance, merits review of the Tribunal's adverse credibility and protection visa findings, did not identify any arguable jurisdictional error by the Tribunal or error by the Federal Magistrates Court, and therefore disclosed no prospects of a successful appeal. The application for extension of time was accordingly refused and dismissed with costs.
