REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 This is an application for an extension of time in which to appeal against a judgment of a Federal Magistrate of 16 January 2007: see Rhee v Minister for Immigration & Anor [2007] FMCA 23. The matter was listed for hearing today. The applicant was notified of the time and date of the hearing by a letter from the Court dated 29 March 2007 addressed to the address for service. There has been no appearance. A further letter dated 26 April 2007 was sent by the solicitors appearing for the first respondent by courier to the same address, which again identified the time and date for hearing.
2 I have been asked to dismiss the application for non appearance. I propose to do so. I order that the application be dismissed and that the applicant pay the first respondent’s costs. I further order that those costs be fixed in the sum of $1,000.
