SZVAD v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 225

SZVAD v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 225

The application for an extension of time was dismissed because the proposed ground of appeal did not identify any error by the primary judge and, even if construed as a complaint about adverse credibility findings or denial of procedural fairness, there were no reasonable prospects of success. The Tribunal's credibility findings were within its jurisdiction and properly explained; allegations of bias and procedural unfairness were unsupported.
