TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 8 SEPTEMBER 2005, AT 9.28 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J: The applicant seeks special leave to appeal against the orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (exercising the appellate jurisdiction of that Court) dismissing an appeal against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court. The Federal Magistrates Court had refused to set aside an order that the applicant’s application for judicial review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal be dismissed for want of appearance by the applicant. The Federal Magistrates Court refused to set aside that order on the ground that the applicant demonstrated no arguable case.

There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the conclusions reached in the courts below.

Pursuant to rule 41.11.1 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application with costs. I publish that disposition.

AT 9.27 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
