REFUGEE REVIEW TRIBUNAL
Second Respondent
JUDGE: MADGWICK J
DATE: 21 MAY 2007
PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 It being now 2.41 pm and this case having been fixed for 2.15 pm, application has been made by the first respondent that the Court should, pursuant to s 25(2B)(bb)(ii) of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth), dismiss the appeal for failure of the appellant to attend the hearing. 2 It appears from material now before the Court that the appellant has left the address which he provided as his address for service in the appeal and has advised neither the Court nor the first respondent of the change of address. In these circumstances the inference is that the appellant has little present interest in prosecuting the appeal and the application should be acceded to. 3 I will order that the Refugee Review Tribunal be added as a second respondent, that the appeal is dismissed for want of appearance by the appellant and that the appellant pay the first respondent's costs of the appeal assessed in the sum of $2200.
