SONGMIA v MINISTER OF IMMIGRATION [2013] NZHC 3233
- Citation
- [2013] NZHC 3233
- Court
- High Court
Leave for judicial review was refused because the issues could be adequately dealt with on appeal; leave to appeal was refused because the Tribunal correctly stated and applied the 'special circumstances' test, the applicant's points (sexual orientation, non‑recognition in Thailand, ICCPR) did not amount to special circumstances or raise questions of general or public importance, and the proposed appeal was not arguable.
