TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 8 NOVEMBER 2007, AT 9.08 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia
HAYNE J: The applicant claims to be a citizen of Bangladesh but arrived in Australia on an Indian passport. He seeks special leave to appeal against the orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Lander J) dismissing an appeal against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court (Scarlett FM). The Federal Magistrate dismissed the applicant's claims for relief under s 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth) and associated relief in respect of the decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal to affirm the refusal to issue the applicant a protection visa.

There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the conclusions reached in the courts below that the applicant established no ground for relief of the kind he sought.

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 9.09 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
