TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 10 MARCH 2005, AT 9.29 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

GUMMOW J:   The applicant is an Indian citizen.  He seeks special leave to appeal from the decision of a judge of the Federal Court refusing an application for an extension of time to appeal against the decision of another judge of that Court dismissing an application for a review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal.  The Tribunal had affirmed a decision to refuse to grant the applicant a protection visa.

The primary judge had held that the application to the Federal Court concerned purely findings of fact made by the Tribunal within its jurisdiction.

There are no prospects of success on an appeal and 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 the application with costs.

I publish the disposition signed by Justice Kirby and myself.

AT 9.30 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
