PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 This is an appeal from a judgment of the Federal Magistrates Court that rejected an application for judicial review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal ("the Tribunal") adverse to the appellant. The matter was listed for 11.30 am. It is now 11.55 am and there has been no appearance by the appellant nor any communication from him to indicate any difficulty about attending today. He was duly notified of the hearing date and time and indeed warned by the solicitors for the first respondent that, should he fail to appear, his appeal might be dismissed and he might be ordered to pay costs. 2 The first respondent now asks that I dismiss the appeal pursuant to s 25(2B)(bb)(ii) of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth) for failure to attend on the hearing and it seems appropriate that I should accede to that request. 3 The appeal will therefore be dismissed under that paragraph with costs, assessed in the sum of $2,750.00. I certify that the preceding three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Madgwick.
