TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT SYDNEY ON TUESDAY, 1 JUNE 2004, AT 2.12 PM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

GLEESON CJ:   In this matter we have read the written submissions of the applicant who indicated at the conclusion of his written submissions that he did not seek to supplement them with oral argument and there has been no appearance of the applicant today.  Officer, perhaps you should call outside the Court RDF v LJB.

COURT OFFICER:   No response, your Honour.

GLEESON CJ:   The Court is of the view that there are insufficient prospects of success of an appeal to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal, and the application is dismissed with costs.  I should add that in this matter there is a certificate from the Deputy Registrar saying that she had been informed by the solicitors for the respondent that the respondent did not wish to be heard in the matter and would abide by any order of the Court save as to costs.

We will adjourn until 2.30 pm when we will deal with matter No 4.

AT 2.14 PM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
