TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant, a citizen of the People’s Republic of China, seeks special leave to appeal against orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Cowdroy J) made in the exercise of the appellate jurisdiction of that Court. By those orders, Cowdroy J dismissed the applicant’s appeal against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court (Raphael FM) dismissing the applicant’s application for relief under s 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth) directed to the Refugee Review Tribunal with respect to its decision affirming the refusal of a delegate of the Minister to grant the applicant a protection visa.

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

In the Federal Court, Cowdroy J held that the decision of Raphael FM revealed no error of law.  The applicant advances no argument giving reason to doubt the correctness of this conclusion.

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 9.40 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
