SMITH v MINISTER OF IMMIGRATION [2020] NZHC 1510
- Citation
- [2020] NZHC 1510
- Court
- High Court
Leave to appeal and leave to commence judicial review were refused because the applicant failed to show a seriously arguable error of law: the Tribunal's factual findings and evaluative judgments about credibility and weight of evidence were open on the material before it, the applicant's challenge was effectively a merits attack rather than an identifiable legal error, and the statutory leave thresholds under ss 245 and 249 were not met.
