CASE PROCEDURES – appeals – extension of time – s.604 Fair Work Act 2009 – application for permission to appeal decision of Commission to refuse extension of time to lodge unfair dismissal application – notice of appeal under s.604 of FW Act must be filed within 21 calendar days of decision to be appealed – notice of appeal filed 775 days late – extension of time must be granted fro appeal to be competent – considerations include whether there is a satisfactory reason for delay, length of delay, nature of grounds of appeal and any prejudice to respondent [Jobs Australia v Eland] – applicant submitted he was in Pakistan at time of decision and did not return to Australia until January 2015, at which time he saw decision for first time – Full Bench not satisfied this was a reasonable explanation for the delay, and did not explain why notice of appeal not filed until December 2015 – delay can only be characterised as lengthy – unlikely that any grounds of appeal being pursued by applicant would be upheld – respondent likely to suffer prejudice if time extended, as employment with respondent ended almost three years ago – notice of appeal incompetent and dismissed.
