SZUAZ v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 581

SZUAZ v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 581

Although the delay in filing was brief and caused no prejudice to the Minister, the proposed grounds of appeal had no reasonable prospect of success because they largely repeated factual protection claims, challenged matters outside the Court's appellate jurisdiction, lacked particulars, or failed to identify jurisdictional error by the Tribunal or appellable error by the primary judge. Accordingly, an extension of time was refused and the application dismissed.
