The Court upheld a registrar's refusal to accept documents for filing where they sought judicial review of a state Premier's decision that was not reviewable by the Federal Court. The Court confirmed that registrars may refuse to accept documents that are frivolous, vexatious or an abuse of process under r 2.26 of the Federal Court Rules, and that the Federal Court has no supervisory jurisdiction over state courts or power to review decisions of state Premiers absent specific statutory authority.
