Quan v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2013] FCA 1239

Quan v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2013] FCA 1239

The Court refused the extension of time because the explanation for delay was inadequate, the proposed grounds plainly lacked merit, leave should not be granted to pursue grounds deliberately abandoned below or new grounds not raised below, the applicant could not satisfy cl 3004(f) because she did not have an approved sponsor on 4 October 2008 when she last held a substantive visa, and the declarations and injunctions sought concerning refugee status, a protection visa, a 457 visa, and release from detention were inappropriate or had no basis in the proceeding.
