PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 On 18 July 2003 a draft order nisisupported by an affidavit was filed in the High Court of Australia. The applicant sought constitutional writ relief in respect of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal ('the Tribunal') given on 1 February 2000. By consent, Gummow J ordered on 25 November 2003 that the further proceedings in the application be remitted to this Court. 2 The matter is therefore before this Court as an application for an order nisi. The matter was listed for directions today. The solicitor for the applicant indicated that it was necessary to file an application disclosing some basis for relief. The reason why such an application was made is that the affidavit, on its face, discloses no basis upon which any relief can be granted. 3 The appropriate course is to refuse an order nisi. 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 it is appropriate not to make an order as to costs.
