NAMI v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2003] FCA 107

NAMI v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2003] FCA 107

The notice of appeal was treated as an application for leave to appeal because the Federal Magistrate's dismissal was interlocutory. Leave was refused because the appellant identified no error by the Magistrate, was aware of the 21 October 2002 hearing, had not complied with the 13 September 2002 directions, and there was no basis to conclude that the dismissal power under rule 13.03 was not enlivened.
