REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
I have before me a motion which seeks an order that the applicant's application, filed on 14 January 2000, be summarily dismissed.
I am content to treat that as being an application under Order 30 rule 5, that the proceedings be dismissed for want of prosecution. Based upon the evidence of Mr Allatt, it seems to me that the applicant has not prosecuted these proceedings with due diligence. Rather, he has effectively abandoned them by returning to Turkey.
Accordingly I order that the proceedings be dismissed. However, in the circumstances, I think I should make an order pursuant to Order 35 rule 6 that the dismissal is to be without prejudice to the right of the applicant to bring fresh proceedings.

CaseChat Overview and Summary
The legal issues before the court were whether the Minister's decision was unlawful and whether the proceedings should be dismissed due to the applicant's failure to prosecute. The applicant argued that the Minister's decision was flawed as it did not consider relevant information and was made without proper authority. The Minister, on the other hand, contended that the proceedings should be dismissed because the applicant had not pursued the matter diligently.
In its judgment, the court found that the applicant had not demonstrated sufficient diligence in pursuing the proceedings, leading to significant delays. The court emphasised that while the applicant had legitimate grounds for the review, the failure to prosecute the matter with due expedition warranted the dismissal of the proceedings. The court held that the dismissal should be without prejudice, allowing the applicant the opportunity to bring fresh proceedings if they chose to do so. Consequently, the court dismissed the proceedings and ordered that the dismissal be without prejudice to the applicant's right to initiate new proceedings.
