v
MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND BORDER PROTECTION & ANOR
[2019] HCASL 13
M89/2018
This application for special leave to appeal was filed with this Court on 14 June 2018. Following a request by the Registrar of this Court for pro-bono assistance, instructions were obtained from the applicant and an amended application for special leave was filed on 26 November 2018. However, without the knowledge of the solicitors or counsel acting for the applicant, on 12 October 2018 the applicant signed a "Request for Removal from Australia". On 5 December 2018 the applicant voluntarily departed from Australia. The applicant did not provide his contact details to the Department of Home Affairs and his solicitors do not have any contact details for him. In these circumstances, there would be insufficient utility in an appeal to justify the grant of special leave to appeal.
Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
