Yasser and Child Support Registrar (Child support)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the matter of *Yasser and Child Support Registrar*. The applicant, Yasser, sought an extension of time to lodge an objection against a decision made by the Child Support Registrar.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether to grant Yasser an extension of time to lodge his objection. This involved assessing whether there was a satisfactory explanation for the delay in lodging the objection out of time, and whether there were any prospects of the objection succeeding.

The Tribunal found that Yasser had not provided a satisfactory explanation for the significant delay in lodging his objection. While acknowledging that there were some prospects of the objection succeeding on its merits, the Tribunal concluded that this was insufficient to outweigh the lack of a reasonable explanation for the lateness. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the decision of the Child Support Registrar to refuse the extension of time.
