ORDER

1.The applicant's ex parte applications, M51 of 2025, M52 of 2025, M53 of 2025, and M54 of 2025, filed on 2 July 2025 for leave to issue or file applications for a constitutional or other writ, are refused.

Representation

The applicant in all matters is unrepresented

1. EDELMAN J. In each of these four applications, the applicant seeks leave to issue or file an application for a constitutional or other writ. 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 applications without the leave of a Justice of this Court.

2. In the factual background to each proposed application for a constitutional or other writ and in the applicant's affidavits supporting his applications 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 applications for leave to issue or file or in the accompanying affidavits that discloses any arguable basis for any of the relief sought. The proposed applications for constitutional or other writs are, on their 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 applications 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 applications for leave to issue or file applications for a constitutional or other writ, each filed on 2 July 2025, are refused.
