IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF AUSTRALIA NEW SOUTH WALES DISTRICT REGISTRY GENERAL DIVISION NSD 528 of 2015 BETWEEN: SZUIH Applicant AND: MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND BORDER PROTECTION First Respondent ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS TRIBUNAL Second Respondent JUDGE: NICHOLAS J DATE: 16 september 2015 PLACE: SYDNEY REASONS FOR JUDGMENT (Revised from Transcript) 1 Before me is an interlocutory application filed by the applicant on 7 September 2015, seeking an order that the applicant's application dated 24 April 2015 be reinstated. That application ("the dismissed application") was dismissed by me on 10 August 2015, following the applicant's failure to appear at the hearing: SZUIH v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 829. 2 The dismissed application sought an application for an extension of time and leave to appeal against a judgment of Judge Manousaridis of the Federal Circuit Court whereby his Honour dismissed an application brought by the applicant to reinstate a proceeding that had previously been brought by him in that Court and which had been dismissed by his Honour on account of the applicant's non-appearance at the hearing. 3 In my reasons of 10 August 2015, I concluded that there was no reason to think that Judge Manousaridis had erred in dealing with the application for reinstatement then before him. 4 At the hearing of the present application (for reinstatement of the dismissed application) there was, yet again, no appearance by the applicant. In the circumstances, it is clear that the interlocutory application filed by him on 7 September 2015 must be dismissed with costs. I will fix the first respondent's costs in the sum of $1,000. 5 Orders accordingly. I certify that the preceding five (5) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Nicholas. Associate: Dated: 22 September 2015
