SZTPH v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 832

SZTPH v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 832

The applicant failed to identify any error in the reasoning of the primary judge. The Federal Circuit Court correctly applied the relevant legal principles in determining that no unarticulated claim clearly arose from the material before the Tribunal, and the Tribunal had taken into account all relevant evidence. There was no sufficient doubt over the correctness of the primary judge's decision to justify an extension of time to appeal.
