SZTKD v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 1235

SZTKD v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2014] FCA 1235

Although there was a reasonable explanation for the short delay and no prejudice, the applicant's appeal had no reasonable prospects of success as the drafted notice of appeal did not identify any error, and the Federal Circuit Court's decision was not affected by jurisdictional error. Therefore, the application for extension of time must be refused.
