TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON WEDNESDAY, 27 APRIL 2005, AT 4.51 PM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   In this matter the applicant seeks 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 a judgment of a judge in the Federal Court of 13 October 2004.  The Federal Court was not persuaded that any grounds could be made out to demonstrate any appealable error of law or principle in the reasoning of the primary judge.  Neither in that respect nor in any other has the Federal Court shown to have been in error.

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 arguable error in 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 dismissed.

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 4.52 PM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
