The Judge can allow more time if you ask for it. You can make the application informally. The Judge will look at the matter again and make a decision based on the papers, unless they want to hear from you in person. The Judge can agree with the Registrar's decision, change it, or cancel it. You do not have to pay a fee to make the application. You are applying for a review of a decision made under regulations created using section 237B(1).
