TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON WEDNESDAY, 27 APRIL 2005, AT 4.44 PM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant seeks special leave to appeal to this Court against the refusal, by a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Tamberlin J), to grant an extension of time within which to appeal against orders of another single judge of that court (Allsop J).

The applicant being unrepresented, the application is to be dealt with in accordance with rule 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

It is not necessary to decide whether an appeal to this Court would be competent.  (See Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth), section 33(2).) An appeal to this Court (if competent) would enjoy no prospect of success. The application should be dismissed.

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

AT 4.45 PM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
