TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 10 MARCH 2005, AT 9.36 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

GUMMOW J:   The applicant is a citizen of Sri Lanka who came to Australia on a student visa in 2000.

The Refugee Review Tribunal rejected the case for a protection visa essentially because it did not believe the applicant’s claim that he was a Tamil Muslim.  An application for review was dismissed by the Federal Magistrates Court and an appeal to a single judge of the Federal Court was also unsuccessful.

There are insufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave against the decision of the Federal Court.  Special leave is refused with costs.

Pursuant to r 41.11.1 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing this application with costs.

I publish the disposition signed by Justice Kirby and myself.

AT 9.37 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
