FIRST RESPONDENT
REFUGEE REVIEW TRIBUNAL
SECOND RESPONDENT
JUDGE: WILCOX J
DATE: 9 MARCH 2006
PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT WILCOX J: 1 This is an application for leave to appeal against a decision of Moore J, given on 29 November 2005, dismissing an application for an order nisi. There is a question as to whether the application was made within time, but I prefer to pass over this aspect of the case. I prefer to look at the substance of the matter. Moore J refused the order nisi, first, because he could not discern any jurisdictional error in the decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal ('the Tribunal') and, second, because that decision had been made as long ago as 16 February 2000. The Tribunal had made the decision without the benefit of having the applicant appear at an oral hearing. This was because the applicant had declined the Tribunal's invitation to attend an oral hearing.
