HAYNE J:   The applicants are husband and wife and are citizens of India.  They sought, unsuccessfully, the grant of protection visas on the basis of claims made by the applicant husband.  On review the Refugee Review Tribunal affirmed the decision to refuse to grant the visas that had been sought.  The applicants unsuccessfully sought judicial review of the Tribunal's decision in the Federal Magistrates Court.  Their appeal to the Federal Court of Australia against the orders of the Federal Magistrates Court was dismissed by Collier J.  They now seek special leave to appeal to this Court.

Because the applicants are unrepresented their application falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

The applicants had to obtain orders reinstating the application in this Court after it was deemed abandoned and an order was made that the costs of the application for reinstatement (made on notice to the first respondent) should be costs in the application for special leave.

The written application which is formulaic makes no arguable allegation of error by the courts below.

Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application with costs. I publish that disposition.

AT 9.35 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
