TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant is a citizen of Bangladesh. He seeks special leave to appeal against the orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Tamberlin J) made in the exercise of the appellate jurisdiction of that Court. By those orders, Tamberlin J dismissed the applicant's appeal against orders made by Smith FM. The Federal Magistrate had dismissed the applicant's application for relief under s 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth) in respect of the decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal to affirm the decision to refuse the applicant a protection visa.

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

The applicant contends that the Tribunal did not accord him procedural fairness.

The actual decision of Tamberlin J is not attended by doubt.

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 9.25 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
