APPLICANT

AND: MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION & MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS

RESPONDENT

JUDGE: HELY J

DATE: 15 FEBRUARY 2000

PLACE: SYDNEY

REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 I have before me a motion which seeks an order that the applicant's application, filed on 14 January 2000, be summarily dismissed. 2 I am content to treat that as being an application under Order 30 rule 5, that the proceedings be dismissed for want of prosecution. Based upon the evidence of Mr Allatt, it seems to me that the applicant has not prosecuted these proceedings with due diligence. Rather, he has effectively abandoned them by returning to Turkey. 3 Accordingly I order that the proceedings be dismissed. However, in the circumstances, I think I should make an order pursuant to Order 35 rule 6 that the dismissal is to be without prejudice to the right of the applicant to bring fresh proceedings. I certify that the preceding three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Hely.
