AW v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION AND ANOTHER

Citation

AW v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV63/2015

The Court of Appeal applied the multi-factorial test in Re Thomas Lai and held there is no special categorical rule favouring extension of time in CAT/humanitarian cases; the applicant's delay was undue and unjustified, the Unified Screening Mechanism provided an adequate alternative for fresh assessment making the proposed judicial review otiose, and granting extension would be detrimental to good administration; appeal dismissed and extension refused.
