ALAVINE FELIUAI LIU v CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE MINISTRY OF BUSINESS, INNOVATION AND EMPLOYMENT [2014] NZSC 76

- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal dismissed because existing Supreme Court authority (Ye) settles that the best interests of the child are a primary, not paramount, consideration in immigration deportation decisions; art 9.1 does not add materially beyond art 3.1 and the immigration officer had properly considered the child's best interests and relevant family and safety factors, so there was no miscarriage of justice or unresolved point of public importance.
