TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON WEDNESDAY, 15 NOVEMBER 2006, AT 9.46 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

GUMMOW J:   The applicant is a citizen of Bangladesh.  His application for a protection visa was dismissed by a delegate of the first respondent.  The Refugee Review Tribunal (“the Tribunal”) affirmed that decision.  The applicant’s application for judicial review was dismissed by the Federal Magistrates Court.  An appeal to the Federal Court of Australia failed, as did an application for special leave to appeal to this Court.

The applicant then applied to the Federal Magistrates Court for judicial review of the delegate’s decision.  That application was dismissed by Raphael FM as an abuse of process.  An application for leave to appeal was dismissed by the Federal Court of Australia (Black CJ).

The applicant’s application for special leave reveals no possibility of any error in any of the decisions made.

Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application for special leave.  I publish the disposition signed by Heydon J and myself.

AT 9.47 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
