Administrative law [2022] NAHCMD 640

Ngwarati v Chief of Immigration (HC-MD-CIV-MOT-GEN 397 of 2022)

Ngwarati v Chief of Immigration (HC-MD-CIV-MOT-GEN 397 of 2022) [2022] NAHCMD 640 (23 November 2022)

Court
High Court Main Division
Case number
HC-MD-CIV-MOT-GEN 397 of 2022

The applicant was compelled to litigate due to the respondents' inaction regarding his work permit renewal. The urgent application achieved its purpose as the respondents only acted after litigation commenced. The respondents' argument that there was no trigger event is irrational given the applicant's prolonged lack of income and uncertainty. Therefore, the respondents are liable for the applicant's costs, but not on a punitive scale.
