SZQOS v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship

SZQOS

v

MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP & ANOR

[2012] HCASL 171
S281/2012

1. The applicant, a citizen of Bangladesh, seeks special leave to appeal from orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Cowdroy J) dismissing the applicant's appeal against orders of the Federal Magistrates Court.  The Federal Magistrate (Smith FM) dismissed an application for judicial review of the decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal to affirm the decision by a delegate of the first respondent to refuse to grant the applicant a Protection (Class XA) visa.

2. As the applicant does not have legal representation, the application falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

3. We see no reason to doubt the correctness of the conclusions reached in the courts below.  An appeal to this Court would have insufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal.

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