Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicants, father and daughter, and citizens of Sri Lanka, seek special leave to appeal against orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Young J) exercising the appellate jurisdiction of that Court. By those orders, Young J dismissed the applicants’ appeal against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court dismissing an application for relief under s 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth) in respect of the decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal affirming the refusal by a delegate of the Minister to grant the applicants protection visas.

Because the applicants are unrepresented, the application for special leave to appeal to this Court falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

There is no reason to doubt the conclusion of Young J that the Tribunal was not shown to have made any jurisdictional error.

Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application. I publish that disposition.

AT 9.04 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
