The Supreme Court allows repetitious appeals

December 11, 2009

The first asylum decision by the new Supreme Court means that a person against whom a deportation order has been made will, until the law is changed, be able to appeal against that order and delay its execution by submitting a human rights or asylum claim, even though the material in support of that claim has already been submitted in support of an unsuccessful appeal. See Briefing Paper 8.37
