Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   In this matter the applicant seeks special leave to appeal from a decision of the Full Court of the Federal Court.  That Court rejected an appeal by the applicant from a decision of a single judge of the Federal Court.

In rejecting the applicant’s appeal the Full Court said that its function was to conduct judicial review and not a review of the merits of an application and that the complaint made by the appellant did not demonstrate any jurisdictional error which would allow the Court to intervene.

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

The applicant’s written case shows no reason to doubt the correctness of the conclusions reached in the Courts below and accordingly the applicant’s 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 4.49 PM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
