Lamon and Lamon and Anor

The matter of *Lamon and Lamon and Anor* concerned an appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Australia against a decision of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). The appellant sought an extension of time to appeal the AAT's decision.

The primary legal issues before the Court were whether to grant the appellant leave to appeal the AAT's decision out of time, and if so, the merits of the appeal itself, which related to a departure prohibition order.

Judge Mercuri granted the appellant leave to appeal out of time, acknowledging the circumstances presented. However, upon considering the substantive grounds of appeal, the Court found no error in the AAT's decision and therefore dismissed the appeal. The Court made no order as to costs.
