TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 9 NOVEMBER 2006, AT 9.18 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant seeks special leave to appeal against the orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Bennett J).  By those orders, Bennett J dismissed the applicant’s application for leave to appeal against the orders of Gyles J that the applicant’s proceedings be dismissed and that the applicant pay the respondent’s costs.

Because the applicant is unrepresented, the application falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

The applicant’s written submissions raise no questions of law that would warrant a grant of special leave to appeal to this Court.  We see no reason to doubt the correctness of the decisions of Bennett J or of Gyles 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 9.18 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
