TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON WEDNESDAY, 27 APRIL 2005, AT 4.41 PM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant is an Iranian national.  He applied for and was refused a protection visa by the delegate of the respondent whose decision in that respect was affirmed by the Refugee Review Tribunal on 13 August 2001.  An application to the Federal Court for review of that decision was successful and the matter was remitted to the Tribunal, which on 14 March 2002 again affirmed the delegate’s decision.  A further application for review was made to the Federal Court.  That application was remitted to the Federal Magistrates Court and was dismissed.  The applicant appealed to the Federal Court.  That appeal was heard by a single judge of that Court.  It is from that judgment that the applicant seeks special leave to appeal to this Court.

The applicant has been unable to point to any jurisdictional or other errors on the part of the Tribunal or the courts below.  In those circumstances the applicant’s application for special leave to appeal must be dismissed with costs.

Pursuant to rule 41.11.1 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application with costs.  I publish that disposition.

AT 4.43 PM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
