MZZHE v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection

[2014] HCASL 87

MZZHE

v

MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND BORDER PROTECTION & ANOR

[2014] HCASL 87
M151/2013

1. The applicant, a citizen of the People's Republic of China, seeks special leave to appeal against orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (North J) dismissing the applicant's appeal against orders of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia.  The Federal Circuit Court (Judge Whelan) dismissed an application for judicial review of the decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal to affirm the decision by a delegate of the first respondent to refuse to grant the applicant a Protection (Class XA) visa.

2. The applicant does not have legal representation. The application therefore falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

3. There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of North J and there is no foundation for the assertions of bias and unfairness on which the applicant relies.  An appeal to this Court would enjoy no prospects of success.

4. Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
