REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

1. In this matter the applicant filed an application to review a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal on 30 June 2008.  On 17 July 2008 she attended a call over of the matter before Registrar Ng when the matter was set down for hearing today.  The applicant there had the benefit of a Mandarin interpreter and signed consent orders.  The applicant was not in attendance at the court at 10.15a.m. today, neither was she in attendance when the matter was called outside the court at 10.30a.m. 

2. In the circumstances I propose to dismiss the application pursuant to Part 13 Rule 13.03A(c) of the Federal Magistrate Court Rules 2001.

I certify that the preceding two (2) paragraphs are a true copy of the reasons for judgment of Raphael FM
