LI v IPT & MBIE [2018] NZHC 174
- Citation
- [2018] NZHC 174
- Court
- High Court
Leave was granted because there are seriously arguable legal questions that INZ's communications and handling may have caused or perpetuated the applicant's misunderstanding about his obligation to provide updating information, potentially depriving him of a fair hearing and engaging s27 NZBORA; the Tribunal may have failed to take relevant considerations into account or cure the breach, and these issues are appropriate for judicial review as they require first‑instance factual and legal determination and raise matters of general or public importance.
