TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 26 MAY 2005, AT 1.45 PM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from a decision of the Federal Court.  When the applicant’s application for leave to appeal and an extension of time to file and serve a notice of appeal came on for hearing before that Court there was no appearance by, or for the applicant.  In those circumstances, the Federal Court dismissed the applicant’s application.  It is unnecessary to consider whether an appeal to this Court would be competent (Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth), s 33(2)). The applicant’s written case in this Court discloses no error on the part of the Federal Court. Accordingly, the application should be dismissed.

Because the applicant is unrepresented, this application for special leave falls to be dealt with in accordance with rule 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004. Pursuant to rule 41.10.05 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing this application. I publish that disposition.

AT 1.46 PM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
