HUANG v THE MINISTER OF IMMIGRATION [2020] NZHC 956

Citation

[2020] NZHC 956
Court

High Court

Leave to appeal was dismissed because there was no seriously arguable question of law: the Tribunal did not err in treating consequences for immediate family as relevant to the s 207(1)(a) unjust/unduly harsh assessment in a case concerning an offending appellant, nor did it err in considering immigration system integrity as relevant to the unduly harsh inquiry; therefore no basis for leave under s 245 was established.

Citation

Court

High Court

The High Court concluded the Tribunal did not err in law: the Tribunal's factual finding that the appellant knowingly presented false and misleading information was open on the evidence, the revocation was lawful under s20(1)(c), and the Tribunal properly exercised its s22 discretion balancing the integrity of the immigration system against family hardship; therefore the s117 appeal fails.
