HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA

IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION BY RALPH ALFRED YOUNG FOR LEAVE TO ISSUE OR FILE

[2025] HCASJ 32

Date of Judgment: 3 September 2025

M50 of 2025

ORDER

1.The applicant's ex parte application, M50 of 2025, filed on 2 July 2025 for leave to issue or file an application for removal, is refused.

Representation

The applicant is unrepresented

1. EDELMAN J. In this application, the applicant seeks leave to issue or file an application for removal under s 40 of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth). The applicant requires leave because Jagot J, acting under r 6.07.2 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth) directed the Registrar to refuse to issue or file the application without the leave of a Justice of this Court.

2. In the factual background to the proposed application for removal and in the applicant's affidavit supporting his application for leave, the applicant makes various allegations centred around charges in the Devonport Magistrates Court and raises issues including the nature of his identity as "the living breathing man and ... not the dead fictional entity/artificial person/legal fiction/Ens Legis 'RALPH ALFRED YOUNG' or any variation thereof, created by the STATE for the administration of a Trust".

3. There is nothing in any of the materials contained in the application for leave to issue or file or in the accompanying affidavit that discloses any arguable basis for any of the relief sought. The proposed application for removal is, on its face, manifestly untenable (and thus an abuse of process) and also frivolous and vexatious within r 6.07.1 of the High Court Rules. The application for leave should be determined without being listed for hearing and with reasons published in accordance with r 13.04 of the High Court Rules. The applicant's ex parte application for leave to issue or file an application for removal, filed on 2 July 2025, is refused.
