DDH17

v

MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION, CITIZENSHIP AND MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS & ANOR

[2023] HCASL 199
S100/2023

1. The applicant requires an extension of time within which to seek special leave to appeal from a decision of the Federal Court of Australia (Goodman J), dismissing an appeal against the dismissal by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, Div 2 (Judge Driver) of the applicant's application for judicial review of a decision by the Immigration Assessment Authority to affirm a decision of the delegate of the first respondent under s 65 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) to refuse to grant a visa to the applicant.

2. The applicant has not identified a question of principle of general importance sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal and otherwise advances no arguable ground of appeal against the decision of the Federal Court. An appeal to this Court would not enjoy sufficient prospects of success. It would therefore be futile to grant the extension that is sought.

3. Special leave to appeal is refused with costs.
