McGinn v Federal Court of Australia [2025] FCA 783

1. After I gave reasons for judgment in matter number NSD519/2025, Ms McGinn made yet another application that I disqualify myself from hearing NSD1825/2024 on the ground of actual bias.
2. She submitted that the reason which I gave for dismissing her application was that there was no merit in the application and submitted that the underlying reason which I gave for that conclusion related to jurisdiction rather than merit. Ms McGinn also submitted that I failed to consider her submissions in relation to Schedule 2 of the AD(JR) Act.
3. I am unable to see how those matters could conceivably give rise to actual bias on my part, and I reject her application.

I certify that the preceding three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment of the Honourable Justice Jackman.
