AR (India) v REFUGEE AND PROTECTION OFFICER [2020] NZHC 1025

Citation

[2020] NZHC 1025
Court

High Court

Permission to bring an originating application was refused because the application was moot or premature (the officer undertaking not to rely on the bank information and no decision yet made), alternative statutory and administrative remedies exist, and allowing the novel exercise of inherent jurisdiction would improperly encroach the comprehensive statutory appeal and review scheme in the Immigration Act and risk pre-emptive judicial review.
