SZQRR v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 430

The extension of time was granted because the delay was very short, unopposed, caused no identified prejudice, and it was in the interests of justice to allow the applicant to apply for leave. Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant showed no error in the Federal Magistrate's conclusion that there was no arguable jurisdictional error by the Tribunal, the Tribunal's consideration of credibility and background matters was relevant, the Federal Magistrate had considered and rejected the alleged errors, and no denial of natural justice or procedural fairness by the Federal Magistrate was shown.
