BETWEEN: KULDIP SINGH
APPLICANT

RESPONDENT
JUDGE: MADGWICK J
DATE: 7 AUGUST 2000
PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT (revised from transcript) 1 When there was no appearance by or for the applicant shortly after 10.15am, the matter then being listed for hearing, Mr Justin Smith who appears for the respondent Minister, caused inquiries to be made of the chambers of counsel for the applicant. The information elicited was that counsel for the applicant was aware the matter was listed today and had left his chambers as if to come here. He has not arrived, my associate has established that the lifts are working normally and the matter is simply a mystery. (Apparently, nobody with any knowledge of the matter from the applicant's solicitors could be contacted by telephone.) 2 It may be that the applicant is no longer legally represented and does not wish to appear himself, and there has been some failure on the part of normally courteous and conscientious legal practitioners to inform the Court and their opponents of the position. It may be that something else has transpired. At all events there is no appearance and it seems to me that the proper course is, pursuant to an application by the respondent, to dismiss the proceeding for want of prosecution by the applicant, pursuant to Order 32 Rule 2 of the Federal Court Rules.
