SZVQW v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 775

SZVQW v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 775

The application was dismissed because the proposed ground of appeal had no prospects of success: it challenged only the Tribunal's factual findings and sought impermissible merits review. The Court perceived no jurisdictional error by the Tribunal and no appellable error by the primary judge, and accepted the Minister's submissions opposing the extension of time and leave to appeal.
