Taylor v State of Western Australia [2008] FCA 1675

The application had not been amended since it was considered by the Registrar's delegate, there was no evidence or indication that it was likely to be amended in a way that would lead to any different conclusion by the Registrar, and there was no other reason why it should not be dismissed. The Court therefore dismissed the application under s 190F(6) of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth).
