Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite the expiry of the non-extendable 30-day filing period and the absence of a compliant statement of reasons.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the time limit had expired and no legally sufficient appeal brief was filed.
Extracted reasoning
The challenged decision was validly served on 30 April 2009; the appeal deadline expired on 2 June 2009, and the requested extension was not permissible under the Federal Supreme Court Act.
