M v MINISTER OF IMMIGRATION SC 89/2012
- Citation
- SC 89/2012
- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was dismissed because the proposed appeal had no prospect of success: the Court of Appeal correctly held there is no recognised common‑law right to family life in New Zealand for these purposes, no breach of s 9 or s 17 of the Bill of Rights Act, the claim was time‑barred under s 247(1) of the Immigration Act 2009, and decisions to refuse boarding are rendered non‑reviewable by s 97(4) except as provided in s 97(3)(b), so striking out the claim was clearly justified.
