Federal Court of Australia

Moore J
Original judgment source is linked above.
Note: Settlement and entry of orders is dealt with in Order 36 of the Federal Court Rules.
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 This is an application for leave to appeal against a judgment of a Federal Magistrate of 9 March 2007: see SZFYM & Anor v Minister for Immigration & Anor [2007] FMCA 516. The Federal Magistrate dismissed an application for judicial review of a number of decisions concerning the applicants' attempts to secure protection visas. The application before the Federal Magistrate purported to seek review of two decisions of a delegate of the Minister and two decisions of the Refugee Review Tribunal. For the reasons given by the Federal Magistrate, his Honour was correct in dismissing the application. In my opinion any appeal would be doomed to fail. 2 I note that this application for leave to appeal is made against the background of extensive litigation both in this Court, the Federal Magistrates Court and the High Court: see NAQY & NAQZ v Minister for Immigration [2002] FMCA 355, NAQZ of 2002; NAQY of 2002 v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2003] FCA 898, NAQZ of 2002 & Anor v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] HCATrans 84, SZFXY, SZFYM & Anor v Minister for Immigration [2005] FMCA 818, SZFYM v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCA 1303,and SZFYM & Anor v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2006] HCATrans 387. I order that the application be dismissed. 3 I order that the first applicant pay the Minister's costs fixed in the sum of $800. I lastly order that no further proceedings be filed in this Court by the applicants without leave of the Court. I certify that the preceding three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Moore.
