APPLICANT

RESPONDENT
JUDGE: MADGWICK J
DATE: 8 DECEMBER 2003
PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT (revised from transcript) HIS HONOUR: 1 In this case, I will refuse the respondent's application for leave to appeal. The costs of the application will be costs in the cause, because the Minister has had some degree of success with it. 2 I should say that it is slightly invidious to be refusing an application for leave to appeal from one's own decision, however, the circumstances are unusual. I agree that it is perfectly arguable that I was wrong in my judgment sought to be appealed from. But it seems to me that, as a matter of practicality, having regard to the respondent's concerns, as explained to me, and the respondent's ultimate objectives in relation to the litigation, and what has been said about its implications for other potential litigation, a final and authoritative result will sooner be arrived at by my dealing with the matter to finality, urgent; which I propose to do, then by granting leave to appeal. I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Madgwick.
