REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

WILCOX J:

1                     I note that the applicant in this matter does not appear, despite the fact that he has been told his application for leave to appeal would be heard today. 

2                     The applicant seeks leave to appeal against the refusal of an order nisi by Jacobson J.  His Honour refused an order nisi because no jurisdictional error had been identified.  The application for leave to appeal and supporting affidavit also fail to identify any jurisdictional error. 

3                     As the applicant has failed to appear he has deprived himself of any opportunity of identifying a jurisdictional error today.  I see no basis for granting leave to appeal.

4                     The application for leave to appeal is dismissed with costs fixed at $450.00.

I certify that the preceding four (4) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Wilcox.
