SZUVE v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection

SZUVE

v

MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND BORDER PROTECTION & ANOR

[2017] HCASL 137
S36/2017

1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from a decision of the Federal Court of Australia (Katzmann J) dismissing an appeal from a decision of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia (Judge Manousaridis) dismissing an application for judicial review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal to affirm a decision of the Minister's delegate rejecting the applicant's application for a protection visa.

2. The applicant does not identify a question of law of general importance.  Nor is there any reason to doubt the correctness of the reasoning of Katzmann J as it concerns the decisions below or as it concerns refusal of leave to raise a proposed new ground of appeal.  Accordingly, in our view, an appeal to this Court would not enjoy sufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of special leave.

3. Pursuant to r 41.08.1 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application with costs.
