IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF AUSTRALIA ) WESTERN AUSTRALIA 5 ) ) DISTRICT REGISTRY No. WAG 215 of 1992 GENERAL DIVISION ON APPEAL from his Honour, Mr Justice Lee, in the Federal Court of Australia BETWEEN: ZHANG DE YONG Applicant - and - MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND ETHNIC AFFAIRS Respondent CORAM: | BLACK CJ, LOCKHART and FRENCH JJ PLACE: PERTH DATE: 19 MARCH 1993 REASONS FOR JUDGMENT (Ex Tempore) THE COURT The Court is not persuaded that this is a case in which leave to appeal from an interlocutory decision from a judge of this Court should be granted. The points that it is desired to raise on appeal, if leave were granted, are points of substantial importance but we see no compelling reason why these points should not be argued in the ordinary way at the trial. In particular, we are not persuaded that any serious practical inconvenience would result to the Minister if leave to appeal were refused and the matter were to proceed to trial in the ordinary way. Accordingly, we would dismiss the application for leave to appeal and order that the respondent to the proceedings pay the applicant's costs. I certify that this and the preceding page is a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Court. Associate: Date: nf 3f9
