Axd15 v Minister for Immigration

The applicant, Axd15, sought judicial review of a decision by the Minister for Immigration to refuse an application for a Protection visa. The core of the dispute concerned the validity of an application made by Axd15 to extend the time for making submissions under section 477 of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth). The matter came before Judge Street of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the application to extend time under section 477 of the *Migration Act* was made in valid form. This required the Court to consider the requirements for a valid application for an extension of time in the context of a Protection visa application and whether Axd15 had met those requirements.

Judge Street determined that Axd15 had not made out a sufficiently arguable case of jurisdictional error. The Court found that the application for an extension of time did not satisfy the necessary formal requirements. Consequently, the application for an extension of time was dismissed.
