REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 This is an application for judicial review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal. The applicant appeared in person at the directions hearing on 8 June 2000 when directions were given, by consent, including an order fixing the matter for hearing at 9.00am today. The matter has been called and there is no appearance for the applicant. I am satisfied that the applicant was made aware at the directions hearing on 8 June 2000 of the hearing date and plainly enough, its significance to the applicant can be assumed.
2 In view of the fact that there is no appearance, I propose under O 32 r 2 to dismiss the application. I so order. In addition I order that the applicant pay the respondent Minister's costs of the application.

I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Moore. |
