TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON WEDNESDAY, 29 AUGUST 2007, AT 9.19 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant, a citizen of Bangladesh, applies for special leave to appeal to this Court against orders made by a judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Moore J) refusing leave to appeal. Because he is unrepresented his application falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

This is the culmination of the third resort by the applicant to federal courts seeking to challenge decisions refusing him a protection visa.  There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the conclusion reached in the courts below that the proceedings which are the subject of the present application constitute an abuse of process.

Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.

I publish the disposition.

AT 9.20 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
