SZOSV & Anor v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship

SZOSV & ANOR
v
MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP & ANOR
[2012] HCASL 9
S331/2011

1. The applicants, a mother and child, who are citizens of the People's Republic of China, seek special leave to appeal against orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Siopis J) dismissing the applicants' appeal against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court (Emmett FM).  The Federal Magistrate dismissed an application for judicial review of the decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal affirming the refusal of a delegate of the first respondent to grant the applicants Protection (Class XA) visas.

2. As the applicants are unrepresented, the application falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

3. The applicants have not advanced any questions of law which would justify a grant of special leave to appeal.  Further, an appeal to this Court would enjoy insufficient prospects of success to warrant such a grant. 

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