IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF AUSTRALIA NEW SOUTH WALES DISTRICT REGISTRY N 905 OF 2001 BETWEEN: ANNA PRONKO APPLICANT AND: MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS RESPONDENT JUDGE: TAMBERLIN J DATE: 3 AUGUST 2001 PLACE: SYDNEY REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 In this matter, I have read the material which is set out in the Court book and I have considered the submissions which have been made by the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs. Ms Pronko has been referred for legal advice and, as I understand it, she has spoken with a legal adviser. The respondent's outline of submissions in this case sets out a detailed chronology of the history and background of the application by Ms Pronko for refugee status. 2 I am satisfied that the Court does not have jurisdiction to review the determination of 14 May 2001, which appears in the Court book at 78. I am also satisfied that in so far as any application for review of the decision of 1 March 1999 is concerned, the Court has no jurisdiction because of the lapse of time. Accordingly, I have reached the conclusion that the application cannot proceed and I therefore dismiss the application for review and I order that the applicant pay the costs of the respondent. I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Tamberlin. Associate: Dated: 3 September 2001 The Applicant appeared in person. Solicitor for the Respondent: Mr Zac Chami Clayton Utz Date of Hearing: 3 August 2001 Date of Judgment: 3 August 2001
