ZHANG v MINISTER OF IMMIGRATION [2020] NZHC 568

Citation

[2020] NZHC 568
Court

High Court

The Associate Minister's Decision was set aside because he failed to give adequate regard to mandatory considerations, notably New Zealand's international obligations as they related to the best interests of the children, and because the Decision was unreasonable on the evidence such that the only reasonable outcome required reconsideration; the matter is referred back to the Minister for reconsideration taking account of the Court's conclusions of law.

DEVI v CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE MINISTRY OF BUSINESS INNOVATION AND EMPLOYMENT [2018] NZHC 362

Citation

[2018] NZHC 362
Court

High Court

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to identify a question of law of general or public importance or an exceptional injustice; the Tribunal's adverse credibility and instability findings were open on the evidence (inconsistencies with Police summary and guilty pleas), the Tribunal correctly applied F2.5 and F2.30 and properly considered the child's interests; interim name suppression was quashed as no serious safety risk shown.
