TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON TUESDAY, 11 DECEMBER 2007, AT 9.22 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 (Buchanan J) dismissing the applicant's application for leave to appeal against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court (Emmett FM).  The Federal Magistrate had dismissed an application for review of a decision of the delegate of the Minister refusing to grant the applicant a protection visa on the ground that the Federal Magistrates Court had no jurisdiction.

The applicant's written submissions follow a common form and develop no real argument in support of the application for special leave.  We see no reason to doubt the correctness of the conclusions reached in the courts below that the Federal Magistrates Court had no jurisdiction to review the decision of the Minister's delegate.

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 9.23 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
