REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 In view of the fact that there has been no appearance, and having regard to the evidence which has been given and the fact there was no appearance before the Refugee Review Tribunal, as I understand it, I am satisfied that this is an appropriate case for making an order under O 32 r 2 of the Federal Court Rules, dismissing the application. There appears to be no reason why it should not be dismissed with costs. I note that the provisions of O 35 r 7 provide that the Court may set aside a judgment or order in circumstances where the proceedings have been dismissed for want of appearance, provided that the requirements of the Rules are made out.
2 Accordingly, I dismiss the application with costs.
