High Court refuses injunction restraining US national’s removal from the State, on the grounds that: he would not suffer any irreparable harm; an injunction would harm the orderly operation of the State’s borders; no clear reason has been made out to show why the refusal of leave to land was unlawful; and the balance of convenience and justice is against granting an injunction.
Judicial review – asylum and immigration – injunctions - on holiday and to coach baseball - failed to state clearly at the outset that he was here in a volunteering capacity as a baseball coach – search of his phone – messages interpreted to the effect that he should lie about his employment - refused leave to land - applied for revocation or withdrawal of the refusal of leave to land and later made a renewed application for such leave – application refused - provided additional information – sought further decision – Minister refused to alter his position - injunction restraining the US citizen’s removal from the State - test in Okunade - no irreparable harm - harm the orderly operation of the State’s borders - nothing has been put forward to displace the position that the refusal of leave to land was well within the jurisdiction of the Minister - insuperable problem that even on his own account he sought to enter the State on grounds other than those clearly expressed by him - no clear reason has been made out to show why the refusal of leave to land was unlawful - balance of convenience and justice is therefore massively against granting an injunction – injunction refused.
