SZUUP v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 857

SZUUP v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 857

The applicant failed to establish jurisdictional error in the Federal Circuit Court's refusal to extend time. His grounds addressed matters concerning the Tribunal decision or the Federal Circuit Court's assessment of his explanation for delay, but any such asserted error did not show that the Federal Circuit Court misconceived its function or powers. The Court below correctly identified and applied the questions under s 477(2) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), and no jurisdictional error was apparent.
