SZUOV v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1420

SZUOV v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1420

The Tribunal did not have jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision as the application was filed outside the statutory time limit, and this jurisdictional bar could not be relaxed or extended. Therefore, the Federal Circuit Court's dismissal of the judicial review application was correct, making the extension of time application futile.
