SZRQA v Minister for Immigration & Border Protection [2013] FCA 962

SZRQA v Minister for Immigration & Border Protection [2013] FCA 962

The proposed appeal would inevitably fail because the applicant's grounds amounted to impermissible merits review, no jurisdictional error or denial of procedural fairness was established, and the Tribunal's decision was supported by the evidence, including adverse credibility findings and reasonable inference from procedural delay. It would not be just to grant the extension of time.
