REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
(REVISED FROM TRANSCRIPT)
1 The hearing of this appeal was appointed for 10.15 am this morning. At that time there was no appearance by the appellant, notwithstanding that the matter had been called outside the Court.
2 I stood the matter down for a short period of time to cater for the possibility that the appellant may be near the precincts of the Court and able to attend his appeal. The matter was called again at 10.33 am. There was still no appearance by the appellant.
3 In between the time when the matter was first called and the time when it was called again, inquiries have been made as to whether the appellant was at the Court Registry or elsewhere within the Court building. The appellant could not be located.
4 The Minister, in those circumstances, makes an application pursuant to r 36.75(1)(a)(i) of the Federal Court Rules 2011 that the appeal be dismissed. I grant that application.
I certify that the preceding four (4) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Yates. |
