SZRIO v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 599

SZRIO v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 599

The extension of time was refused because, although the delay was short and no prejudice to the respondents was suggested, the proposed appeal had no prospect of success. The RRT considered the supporting documents and was entitled, in light of its adverse credibility findings and the unestablished provenance and limited content of the documents, to give them no weight. The applicant identified no jurisdictional error by the RRT and no error by the primary judge.
