SZTGX & Anor v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection

[2015] HCASL 30

SZTGX & ANOR

v

MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND BORDER PROTECTION & ANOR

[2015] HCASL 30
S307/2014

1. The applicants require an extension of time in which to apply for special leave to appeal against orders of a single judge of the Federal Court of Australia (Buchanan J) dismissing an appeal against orders made in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia.  The Federal Circuit Court (Judge Nicholls) had dismissed the applicants' claim for judicial review of the decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal affirming the decision of the Minister's delegate to refuse to grant the applicants Protection (Class XA) visas.

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

3. The applicants advance no arguable ground of appeal against the judgment of Buchanan J.  Nor is there otherwise any reason to doubt the correctness of the judgment.  An appeal to this Court, therefore, would not enjoy any prospect of success.  Consequently, to grant an extension of time in which to seek special leave to appeal would be futile.

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