TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 24 MAY 2007 AT 9.22 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicants are citizens of the People's Republic of China.  They have applied for protection visas.  They now seek special leave to appeal against orders made by a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Allsop J) made in the exercise of the appellate jurisdiction of that Court.  By those orders, Allsop J granted the applicants the relief that they sought in respect of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal affirming the refusal of their application for protection visas.  Allsop J ordered, among other things, that the Tribunal should determine the applicants' claims according to law.

Because the applicants are unrepresented, their application is to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

An appeal to this Court would achieve nothing more for the applicants than they have obtained by the orders of Allsop J.

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

AT 9.23 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
