SZTHW v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 485

SZTHW v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 485

The extension of time was refused because, despite the short delay, the proposed leave application would have no prospects of success: the grounds advanced below challenged only factual findings and raised no jurisdictional error, and the new allegations of bias, denial of procedural fairness and illogical reasoning were unsubstantiated. There was no jurisdictional error in the Tribunal's reasons and no appealable error in the Federal Circuit Court judgment.
