- High Court
The Court refused leave on the originally argued grounds because the alleged errors were either not raised at the material time or did not disclose legal error of sufficient general importance, but identified a potentially arguable new ground — breach of natural justice by INZ and possible compounding by the Tribunal — which engaged s27 NZBORA and warranted leave to amend pleadings; the applicant was granted time to plead that ground and the respondent time to reply, otherwise the application would be dismissed.
