REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 This is an application for leave to appeal against a judgment of a Federal Magistrate of 12 July 2007 dismissing an application for judicial review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal of 17 December 2003: see SZCNP v Minister for Immigration & Anor [2007] FMCA 112. His Honour dismissed the application on the basis that, firstly, it was incompetent and, secondly, it was an abuse of process. As to that second conclusion his Honour's view appears to me to be correct. 2 The application his Honour was dealing with was the second application filed by the applicant seeking judicial review of the Tribunal's decision in the Federal Magistrates Court. The first application was filed in January 2004 and was dismissed by a Federal Magistrate on 13 February 2006: see SZCNP v Minister for Immigration & Anor [2006] FMCA 247. Following that decision, the applicant had sought, unsuccessfully, to challenge the Tribunal's decision both in this Court and the High Court: see SZCNP v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 1140 and SZCNP v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2007] HCATrans 239. 3 Nothing has been put by the applicant to suggest that some further or different ground was raised in the application dealt with by the Federal Magistrate in his judgment of 12 July 2007. In my opinion were leave given the application would have no prospects of success. Accordingly, I dismiss the application with costs. I fix those costs in the sum of $1200. I certify that the preceding three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Moore.
