TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 10 OCTOBER 1996, AT 10.21 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

DAWSON J: Justices Gaudron, McHugh and I considered this application for special leave to appeal. The point now sought to be raised by the applicant does not appear to have been raised in argument in the courts below and, in any event, cannot result in orders in his favour under Division 3 Part VIA of the Industrial Relations Act 1988 as sought in his originating process. The application raises no point of general importance which would warrant the attention of this Court and enjoys no prospect of success. Special leave to appeal is accordingly refused with costs.

AT 10.22 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
