REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 This is an appeal from orders made by Federal Magistrate Lloyd-Jones on 14 December 2007 dismissing an application for judicial review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal ("the Tribunal") handed down on 29 September 2006. The Tribunal had affirmed a decision of a delegate of the first respondent ("the Minister") to refuse to grant a protection visa to the appellant.
Background 2 The appellant is a citizen of the People's Republic of China and arrived in Australia on 13 August 2005. On 12 September 2005 the appellant filed an application for a protection visa with the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs (as it was then known). A delegate of the Minister refused the application for a protection visa on 24 October 2005. 3 On 21 November 2005 the appellant filed an application in the Tribunal for a review of the delegate's decision. On 31 January 2006 the Tribunal affirmed the decision of the delegate of the Minister ("first Tribunal's decision"). On 9 June 2006, Smith FM made orders quashing the first Tribunal's decision, and remitting the matter to the Tribunal for reconsideration and determination in accordance with law.
