MZXNC v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2007] FCA 664

The Federal Magistrate's dismissal under Rule 13.03A(c) was interlocutory, so leave to appeal was required. The applicant identified no relevant error of law or sufficient doubt in the Federal Magistrate's exercise of discretion, and any appeal would be bound to fail; leave to appeal was therefore refused.
