REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 On 18 July 2003 the applicant filed in the High Court of Australia a draft order nisisupported by an affidavit. The applicant sought prerogative relief in respect of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal ('the Tribunal') given on 1 February 2000. The affidavit filed in the High Court, on its face, discloses no basis upon which any relief could be granted. By consent, Gummow J ordered on 25 November 2003 that the further proceedings in the application be remitted to this Court and the matter was listed today for directions. 2 The solicitor for the applicant indicated that it would be necessary to file an application disclosing some basis for relief. The matter presently before this Court is an application for an order nisi. I consider that the appropriate course is to refuse an order nisi and the applicant can then commence such proceeding as he is advised. 3 The respondents to the application seek costs. The matter was remitted by consent without the question of refusal of an order nisibeing raised and, in the circumstances, I consider that it is appropriate to make no order as to costs.
