Appeals, general discussion

This article is about Immigration Policy but it is not a description of policy. In our opinion simplified descriptions of policy are dangerous. If you want to know why we think that, read “Why things go wrong”.

With our wide experience and unique team of in-house immigration attorneys Malcolm Pacific is well positioned to be a highly cost effective provider of appeal services.

Clearly, very few appeals are created by cases we have managed from the outset, because these are overwhelmingly successful.

Our appeal work is based on clients who come to us because they are already in trouble or who are referred by other professionals who recognise our specialised competence in this area.

A cycle of skills and competence has been developed over the years. People come to us because we are good; that widens our team’s experience and further sharpens their skills, deepening the specialisation within our legal team; enabling us to provide very much more for the dollar than other practitioners; which in turn attracts further work. Once such a cycle of competence, skill and efficiency is built up, it becomes very powerful.

There are four routes by which the intervention of “Higher Authority” can be sought.

Ministerial Intervention.
Residence Review Board.
Removal Review Authority.
Appeal to the High Court on the basis of a breach of Human Rights or Race Relations law, or a breach of the Principles of Natural Justice.
