TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON WEDNESDAY, 27 APRIL 2005, AT 4.50 PM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   This is an application for special leave to appeal from a decision of the Federal Court refusing the applicant an extension of time within which to file and serve a notice of appeal from an earlier judgment of a single judge of the Federal Court.

It was the opinion of the Federal Court that the applicant had no prospects of success in an appeal based either on any of the matters put before the Federal Court on the earlier occasion, or any of the new matters sought to be raised by the applicant, and accordingly dismissed the application.

The applicant being unrepresented, this application falls to be dealt with in accordance with rule 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004. The applicant’s written case reveals no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision to refuse the extension of time. It is not necessary to consider whether an appeal to this Court against that refusal would be competent. The application to this Court should be refused.

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

AT 4.51 PM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
