Tumaialu v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCA 529

Tumaialu v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCA 529

Although the applicant was unaware of the 28 day time limit and the Minister alleged no prejudice from the 11 day delay, the applicant did not demonstrate sufficient prospects of success in the proposed appeal. He failed to identify matters not properly considered by the Tribunal, failed to identify jurisdictional error, and merely repeated grounds rejected by the Federal Circuit Court without showing arguable error. His challenge to the Tribunal's finding about the best interests of the children was a challenge to a factual finding and did not disclose jurisdictional error. The extension of time was therefore refused.
