A fraudster who posed as a teacher has failed in a bid to overturn the cancellation of his registration.
Julian Taylor was in 2018 jailed for two years and 11 months for using fake documents to work as a maths and physics teacher.
The Victorian Institute of Teaching cancelled the 57-year-old's registration in August 2015 after finding it was made through misrepresentation.
Taylor appealed this move through the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in September 2019, but VCAT found he had filed the application for review three-and-a-half years too late.
No extension was granted.
Taylor then tried to appeal VCAT's decision, but the Victorian Supreme Court dismissed this application on Thursday.
The VIT was entitled to have any appeal led by Taylor brought within a reasonable period of time, Justice Timothy Ginnane said.
There were no special circumstances justifying an extension, he said.
It follows an unsuccessful bid by Taylor to appeal the length of his jail sentence in 2019.
"If anything ... the sentence might be said to be excessively lenient, given the applicant's planned and protracted offending, and his substantial prior convictions," Justice Phillip Priest and Justice David Beach wrote in their decision at the time.
The justices went on to describe Taylor as an "enthusiastic fraudster".
Taylor between 2005 and 2015 worked at schools including Ilim College at Dallas, Hamilton and Alexandra College at Hamilton, St Paul's Anglican Grammar School at Warragul and Traralgon College.
