THE Federal Court judge John Logan had his diplomatic passport application in train ahead of travelling to the United Arab Emirates to hear evidence from two Australian businessmen who have been trapped in Dubai for more than 2½ years on fraud charges relating to a multibillion-dollar building project.
But the passport, the trip and an Australian court hearing scheduled to start yesterday over the same building deal have all come undone.
There has been to-and-fro for nearly a year between the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australian embassy staff, the Commonwealth Attorney-General's office, the acting attorney-general of Dubai and the head of the Dubai prosecutors office among others.
