SZQRL v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2012] FCA 811

SZQRL v Minister for Immigration & Citizenship [2012] FCA 811

The application was dismissed because the applicant gave no acceptable explanation for the delay in filing his application for an extension of time and leave to appeal, showed no error in the federal magistrate's decision, and did not raise an arguable jurisdictional error based on interpretation before the tribunal. The interpretation ground had not been raised below, there was no adequate explanation for that omission, and the transcript did not disclose incompetent interpretation affecting a significant matter.
