TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 17 NOVEMBER 2005, AT 9.23 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant, a citizen of India, failed to have the decision of a delegate of the respondent to refuse him a protection visa reversed by the Refugee Review Tribunal.  His application in that regard was made on his own behalf and on behalf of his wife and two children. 

In neither the Federal Magistrates Court nor the Federal Court was the applicant able to show that the Refugee Review Tribunal had erred in affirming the decision of the respondent in any way which would require a court to intervene and to reach a different conclusion from the Refugee Review Tribunal.  The application for special leave to this Court must be dismissed because no error on the part of either of those Courts has been demonstrated by the applicant.

Because the applicant is unrepresented, the application falls to be dealt with in accordance with rule 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

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 9.24 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
