TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 17 NOVEMBER 2005, AT 9.30 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant seeks special leave to appeal against orders of the Full Court of the Family Court ordering her to pay costs of an application to a single Judge (Rose J) but otherwise dismissing her application for leave to appeal against the interlocutory orders made by Rose J.  The amount of costs in issue is $495.00.

Because the applicant is unrepresented her application for special leave falls to be dealt with under rule 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

It would not be in the interests of justice in the particular case, or more generally, to grant special leave to appeal against the Full Court’s orders.  In any event, we see no reason to doubt the correctness of the Full Court’s decision.  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 9.31 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
