SZUPV v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 511

SZUPV v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 511

Although the applicant gave a sufficient explanation for the delay and the Minister would not suffer prejudice, the proposed appeal had no reasonable prospects of success. The applicant identified no basis showing bias, no claim that the Tribunal failed to consider, no jurisdictional error by the Tribunal, and no error by the Federal Circuit Court Judge. There was therefore no utility in granting an extension of time or leave to appeal.
