TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT MELBOURNE ON FRIDAY, 14 FEBRUARY 2003, AT 12.09 PM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

MS C.Y. BEATON-WELLS:   If it please the Court, I appear on behalf of the respondent.  (instructed by Australian Government Solicitor)

HAYNE J:   The applicant having indicated that no oral submissions will be made in support of the application, the Court has considered the application on the papers.

The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from orders of the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia dismissing his appeal against the orders of a single judge of that court which, in turn, dismissed his application for judicial review of the Refugee Review Tribunal’s affirmation of a decision not to grant him a protection visa. 

An appeal to this Court would enjoy insufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal.  Accordingly, special leave is refused with costs.

AT 12.10 PM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
