ON APPEAL FROM THE FEDERAL MAGISTRATES COURT OF AUSTRALIA

REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 This is an application for leave to appeal from a judgment of a Federal Magistrate of 20 October 2006: see SZCOZ v Minister for Immigration & Anor (No 2) [2006] FMCA 1606. There has been no appearance from the applicant. The Court notified the applicant letter dated 18 January 2007 sent to his address for service, of the time and date for the hearing. A further letter was sent on 19 January 2007 by the first respondent's solicitors, again notifying the applicant of the time and date of today's hearing. I am satisfied that the appellant was aware of the hearing today. In those circumstances, I propose to dismiss the application with costs. I order that those costs by fixed in the sum of $1500. 2 I note that this application was made against a background of extensive litigation in the Federal Magistrates Court, this Court and the High Court: see SZCOZ v Minister for Immigration [2004] FMCA 914, SZCOZ v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 175, SZCOZ v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] HCATrans 713, SZCOZ v Minister for Immigration & Anor [2005] FMCA 1907, SZCOZ v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 422, SZCOZ v Minister for Immigration & Anor [2006] FMCA 1332. I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Moore.
