REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
THE COURT 1 Judgment was delivered in this appeal on 18 February 2000. At that time, we reserved our decision on an application made on behalf of the appellant to amend his notice of appeal. We indicated that we would deal with the application when we delivered judgment on what were said to be constitutional questions raised in Tuitupou v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs N 1169 of 1999 and related appeals. The reason for taking this course was that the appellant in the present case wished to amend the notice of appeal to raise precisely the same issues that were raised in the other appeals. 2 We have today delivered judgment in the other appeals: Tuitupou v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2000] FCA 197. We explain in that judgment why there is no substance to what were said to be the constitutional arguments. The application to amend the grounds of appeal in the present case is therefore futile. The application should be refused. 3 In consequence, the formal orders of the Court are that: 1. The appeal be dismissed. 2. The appellant pay the respondent's costs. I certify that the preceding three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Court.
