REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

THE COURT:

1                     This is a case where it is necessary for the applicant to obtain leave to appeal.  Gyles J summarily dismissed the application for review of the decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal.  The applicant does not appear, despite his name being called outside the court.  No information has been received by the respondent or by the Court registry to explain his absence. 

2                     In the circumstances, the appropriate order is that the application for leave to appeal be dismissed with costs.  We so order.


I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justices Wilcox, Emmett and Downes.
