Second Respondent

Procedural Posture

Judicial Review / Final Judgment (high Court)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether s432 Immigration Act 2009 prevents the applicant from bringing a refugee or protected person claim under the 2009 Act
  2. 2 Whether the IPT had jurisdiction to hear an appeal against the RSB decision given the transitional provisions
  3. 3 Whether the applicant was denied natural justice/legitimate expectation by late disclosure of the Minister's jurisdictional argument

Ratio Decidendi

Section 432 of the Immigration Act 2009 preserved the applicability of the 1987 Act to persons subject to deportation orders made under the 1987 Act; therefore the applicant remained governed by the 1987 Act and could not bring a refugee or protected person claim under the 2009 Act, rendering the RSB decision void and the IPT without jurisdiction to hear the appeal.
