The Court refused extension of time: the applicant failed to establish special circumstances to extend the 28 day limit under s247 for challenging the 28 July 2017 decision given the lengthy unexplained delay and weak merits. The July 2017 waiver-suspension and the September 2019 visa refusal are distinct decisions. Section 186(3)(a) bars judicial review of the refusal to grant a temporary entry class visa to a person outside New Zealand, and no error of law was pleaded in the 2019 decision to take it outside s186.
