SZEZG v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs

AND: MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS

REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 This is an application for leave to appeal against the judgment of a Federal Magistrate of 28 April 2006 dismissing an application for judicial review filed by the applicant on 26 July 2004. The decision the subject of that application was a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal of 22 June 2004 affirming a decision of the respondent not to grant the applicant a protection visa. The Federal Magistrate concluded the application was incompetent and an abuse of process. Those conclusions were reached having regard to earlier litigation, in the Federal Magistrates Court (SZEZG v Minister for Immigration [2004] FMCA 812), this Court (SZEZG v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 184) and the High Court (SZEZG v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] HCATrans 715). 2 It is not apparent to me that the Federal Magistrate erred in making the order he did. Accordingly, the application for leave should be refused with costs. Costs should be fixed in the sum of $1100. I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Moore.
