REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 On 6 August 2003 the applicant filed a draft order nisiin the High Court of Australia supported by an affidavit sworn on 25 July 2003. The applicant sought relief in respect of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal ('the Tribunal') made on 1 May 2002 affirming a decision of a delegate of the Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs ('the Minister') not to grant a protection visa. That proceeding was remitted to this Court by Heydon J on 12 November 2003. 2 The affidavit in support of the application discloses no basis upon which any relief could be granted in respect of the decision. I am informed by the solicitor for the Minister that on 12 September 2002 an application for review of the decision of the Tribunal was dismissed by consent. 3 In the circumstances I consider that it is appropriate to refuse an order nisi. I certify that the preceding three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Emmett.
