TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON WEDNESDAY, 18 APRIL 2007, AT 9.41 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J: The applicant, a citizen of India, seeks special leave to appeal against the orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Stone J) exercising the appellate jurisdiction of that Court. By those orders, Stone J dismissed the applicant's appeal against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court (Nicholls FM) dismissing an application for relief under s 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth), in respect of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal. The Tribunal affirmed the decision of a delegate of the Minister to refuse to grant the applicant a protection visa.

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

The applicant's written submissions adopt a common form and develop no real argument in support of the application.  We see no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of Stone J.

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 9.42 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
