TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

__________________

HAYNE J: The applicants, who are husband, wife and child, and citizens of India, seek special leave to appeal against the orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Emmett J) exercising the appellate jurisdiction of that Court. By those orders, Emmett J dismissed the applicants' appeal against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court (Scarlett FM) dismissing an application for relief under s 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth), in respect of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal. The Tribunal affirmed the decision of a delegate of the Minister to refuse to grant the applicants protection visas.

Because the applicants are unrepresented, the application falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

The applicants' written submissions develop no real argument in support of the application. They raise no question of principle. We see no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of Emmett J.

Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application. I publish that disposition.

AT 9.47 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
