JUDGE: COWDROY J
DATE: 23 OCTOBER 2007
PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 The applicant, Mr Ugur has filed an application for leave to appeal from the interlocutory orders of Federal Magistrate Smith made on 3 August 2007. Such orders relate to the preparation of proceedings instituted by Mr Ugur in the Federal Magistrates Court pursuant to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Act 1986 (Cth). 2 Mr Ugur seeks leave to appeal from the following orders: 6. The respondent must serve a copy of this order and of the documents served by the applicant on the Public Guardian of NSW before 13 August 2007. 7. The respondent, the Public Guardian or any other intervenor, has liberty to apply to the Court upon five days notice to the applicant. 8. No subpoenas are to be issued by the registry without prior leave of the Court. 3 The Court has been informed by Mr Hunyor, who appears for the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, that apart from the dates appearing on the order, Mr Ugur consented to the orders being made. The Court notes that a hearing is to take place before Smith FM at 10.15 am on 21 November 2007. 4 The Court is not aware of the reasons for the orders made by Smith FM. It would be a serious matter for this Court to interfere with the orders of the Federal Magistrates Court when they are interlocutory, are not accompanied by any reasons for the making of the orders and relate solely to the preparation of the proceedings for hearing. 5 The Court finds that there is no basis for the application, that it constitutes an abuse of process of the Court and that Mr Ugur has no reasonable prospect of success. The Court accordingly dismisses the application for leave to appeal from the interlocutory orders of Smith FM pursuant to s 31A(2) of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth) and Order 20 Rule 5(1) of the Federal Court Rules 1979 (Cth). I certify that the preceding five (5) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Cowdroy .
