REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

Application

  1. This is an application for review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal.  The application was filed on 20th March 2006 and the respondent Minister’s filed a notice of appearance and a response.

  2. The applicant has not appeared and no message has been received from the applicant explaining why there is no appearance or what the applicant has been delayed.  I see no reason to leave the matter in the list any further. 

  3. There is an application for costs in the sum of $1,000.00 on behalf of the first respondent Minister.  The Minister has had to instruct solicitors to act and prepare the appropriate response.  I see no reason why I should not make a costs order and I also consider that the sum of $1,000.00 is appropriate.

I certify that the preceding three (3) paragraphs are a true copy of the reasons for judgment of Scarlett FM
