REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

1. The Court is not minded to grant the applicant’s application for an adjournment.  I accept that the applicant’s loss of his younger brother would be very distressing but I am not persuaded, and certainly there is no evidence, for instance, of a medical, psychiatric or psychological nature, which leads me to think, that he is rendered incapable of presenting his case to the Court. 

I certify that the preceding one (1) paragraphs are a true copy of the reasons for judgment of Judge Cameron
