Copyright in the High Court of Australia

GUMMOW J: The applicant is a citizen of Bangladesh. A delegate of the respondent refused his application for a protection visa. The Refugee Review Tribunal (“the Tribunal”) affirmed that decision. The Federal Magistrates Court (Driver FM) dismissed an application for judicial review. The Federal Court of Australia (Hill J) dismissed an appeal. An application for special leave to appeal to this Court was dismissed by Gleeson CJ and Gummow J.

A further application to the Federal Magistrates Court for judicial review of the Tribunal’s decision was dismissed by Scarlett FM as an abuse of process. An application for leave to appeal to the Federal Court of Australia was dismissed by Black CJ.

The application for special leave to appeal establishes no possibility of any error in the decisions below.

Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application for special leave. I publish the disposition signed by Heydon J and myself.

AT 9.51 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
