SZSQZ

v

MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND BORDER PROTECTION & ANOR

[2014] HCASL 112
S45/2014

1. The applicant is a citizen of Malaysia.  She arrived in Australia on 6 May 2012 on a visitor's visa.  On 20 June 2012, the applicant applied for a Protection (Class XA) visa.  The application was refused by a delegate of the first respondent on 31 July 2012.

2. On 14 February 2013, the Refugee Review Tribunal ("the Tribunal") affirmed the delegate's decision.  The Tribunal found that the applicant's evidence regarding her claims lacked credibility.

3. On 21 October 2013, the Federal Circuit Court of Australia (Nicholls J) dismissed an application for judicial review of the Tribunal's decision.  Nicholls J held that the grounds of the application lacked any substance or merit and no error was apparent in the Tribunal's decision.

4. On 17 February 2014, the Federal Court of Australia (Jagot J) dismissed the applicant's appeal from Nicholls J's decision.  Jagot J held that the applicant's grounds of appeal lacked substance and that there was nothing to suggest any error in Nicholls J's decision.

5. The applicant now seeks special leave to appeal to this Court.  The appeal grounds outlined in the applicant's draft notice of appeal do not disclose any question of law.  There is no reason to doubt the decisions below.  Special leave is refused.

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