Azad and Princess Alexandra Hospital and District Health Service
(2001 S0035, 27 February 2001) 

This case concerned an application for an extension of time in which to apply for external review.  The application was made over 250 days out of time. Applying the principles stated in Young and Workers' Compensation Board of Qld (1994) 1 QAR 543, and following an examination of the documents in issue and the exemption provision relied upon by the respondent, I decided that the applicant's application for review did not have reasonable prospects of success and I decided not to exercise my discretion under s.73(1)(d) to extend time.
