REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 In this matter the applicant for review has not appeared on two occasions. I have considered the application file together with an affidavit of Mr White, solicitor acting for the respondent, dated 14 June 2002 and the documents attached to that affidavit. I am satisfied that this is a case where I should make an order under O 10 r 3(2) of the Federal Court Rules dismissing the application and accordingly I order that the application be dismissed. It follows that the applicant should pay the costs of the respondent of and relating to this application.
2 I do mention, however, the provisions of O 35 r 7 of the Federal Court Rules which give the Court power, if an appropriate case is shown, to vary or set aside a judgment where the order has been made in the absence of a party. However, for this rule to come into operation it will normally be the case that the applicant will have to persuade the Court that there are reasonable grounds on which the judgment should be set aside, before leave under this provision can be granted.
