TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 9 MARCH 2006, AT 9.14 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant, a citizen of China, seeks special leave to appeal against the orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Edmonds J) exercising the appellate jurisdiction of that Court. By those orders, Edmonds J dismissed the applicant’s appeal against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court dismissing an application for relief under s 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth) in respect of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal affirming 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 has not raised any questions of law sufficient to warrant a grant of special leave.  In any event, we see no reason to doubt the correctness of the conclusions reached in the courts below.

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 9.15 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
