JUDGE: LINDGREN J
DATE: 13 NOVEMBER 2006
PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 The appellant appeals from an order of the Federal Magistrates Court of Australia given on 16 June 2006. That Court dismissed his application to it by which he sought review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal. 2 The appeal has been called on for hearing and the appellant has not appeared. I am informed that prior to its being called on, a court officer made inquiries against the possibility that the appellant has attended the Federal Magistrates Court at the John Maddison Tower, but those inquiries have not revealed that he has attended there and been redirected to this Court. 3 Counsel for the Minister has tendered correspondence showing that his firm wrote to the appellant on 24 July 2006, 9 October 2006 and 9 November 2006, the last two letters having advised him of the fixture for today at 10.15 am, the last letter having been sent by certified mail. All of the letters were addressed to the appellant at the address for service which he gave on his notice of appeal. None of the letters were returned. 4 Counsel for the Minister asks that I dismiss the appeal under s 25(2B)(bb)(ii) of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth) for the appellant's failure to attend today's hearing. I agree that the appeal should be dismissed under that provision.
