TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 10 MARCH 2005, AT 9.31 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

GUMMOW J:   The applicant is a citizen of Bangladesh.  His application for a protection visa was refused and that refusal was affirmed by the Refugee Review Tribunal.  An application for judicial review by the Federal Court was dismissed and an appeal to the Full Court was unsuccessful.  The Full Court held that the decision of the Tribunal had turned upon questions of fact that were open to the Tribunal on the material before it.

There are insufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave 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 9.32 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
