Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the final interim account of recoverable asylum welfare costs could be reopened in the final settlement by reconsideration or revision.
Decisione estratta
No. The account was a final partial decision; reopening cannot be used to bypass a final, unchallenged decision or to cure the party's failure to submit evidence or raise objections in time.
Motivazione estratta
The appellant had been invited to submit evidence on lower costs but did not do so, and the decision with clear appeal instructions became final. Reconsideration or revision may not serve to circumvent legal deadlines or remedy one's own lack of diligence.
