TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

FROM MELBOURNE BY VIDEO LINK TO ADELAIDE

ON FRIDAY, 4 MAY 2007, AT 10.00 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HER HONOUR: This is an ex parte application for leave to issue a proceeding. The process in question relates to a claim for damages for negligence or a breach of duty of care relating to the applicant’s discharge from the Australian Defence Force. The applicant requires leave because on 7 March 2007 a Justice of this Court directed, pursuant to Rule 6.07 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), that the Registrar refused to issue the application unless the applicant first obtained the leave of a Justice. The applicant now seeks that leave.

The application which the applicant seeks to issue would, if issued, be an abuse of the process of the Court.  It contains no arguable or even intelligible ground in support of the application for leave.  Leave to issue the process is therefore refused.

AT 10.01 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
