SZVGG v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 859

SZVGG v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 859

The application for extension of time should be dismissed because the proposed grounds of appeal lacked merit: the Federal Circuit Court made no error in dismissing the judicial review, there were no jurisdictional errors raised before the Tribunal (including under s 36(3)), and no claim or evidence was advanced about inability to lawfully support himself in China. The grounds advanced were template and not relevant to this case, so extension of time was not justified even considering the explanation for delay.
