PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 This is what purports to be an appeal against a judgment of the Federal Magistrate of 4 April 2007: see SZCKD v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FMCA 558. In truth it should be an application for leave to appeal and I propose to treat it as such. The Federal Magistrate dismissed an application for judicial review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal of 25 January 2007. In that decision the Tribunal determined that it had no power to entertain the application for review given that it involved a review of a decision that had earlier been reviewed by the Tribunal. The Federal Magistrate concluded that the Tribunal had not erred in approaching the matter in the way it had. 2 In my opinion the Federal Magistrate was correct in reaching that conclusion. Accordingly, were leave given there are no prospects this appeal would succeed and I propose to dismiss the application. I note that this application is made against a background of litigation in the Federal Magistrates Court, this Court and the High Court on earlier occasions: see SZCKD v Minister for Immigration [2005] FMCA 1896; SZCKD v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] FCA 451; SZCKD v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2006] HCATrans 608. I order that the application be dismissed and that the applicant pay the Minister's costs. I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Moore.
