Leave to commence the proposed judicial review was refused because the applicant failed to file any affidavit or disclose the documents necessary to establish the factual foundation of the claim; absent that evidence the court could not determine whether the statutory criteria for granting leave (that the proceeding is not an abuse of process and that there is a prima facie ground) were met.

Leave to bring judicial review was denied because the Tribunal correctly applied the statutory s207 test and did not err in its assessment of the applicants' circumstances or credibility of exploitation claims; applicants failed to show issues that could not be adequately dealt with on appeal or that raised general or public importance, and there were no special circumstances to extend time to judicially review INZ's decision to issue deportation liability notices.

Leave was refused because the issues raised were either matters of law that could be dealt with on appeal or meritless factual assertions lacking general or public importance; the IPT's decision was thoroughly reasoned, supported by evidence and applicable precedent (including Taunoa), and no legal error was demonstrated so s249(1C) criteria for leave were not satisfied.
