Outside contractors with International Protection Office do not supplant role of Commissioner in investigating claims

Judicial review – asylum and immigration – challenges to International Protection Offices first instance decisions – use of outside contractors – whether outside contractors rather than the IPO investigate the claims – ultra vires - merely assistance to the staff of the Commissioner in their conduct of an investigation – affidavit evidence of caseworker - draft report - caseworker is central at all times to the investigation of a particular application, with the HEO having overall control and responsibility - panel member is a team member, working under the immediate direction of the caseworker - panel member assists the civil servants - applicable provisions and examination process applied – personal interview - shall include anything that would, in the opinion of the international protection officer, be relevant to the Minister’s decision – failed to refer to second applicant’s engagement - implied duty on the respondents, at the international protection interview, to actively question an applicant regarding permission to remain - duty of candour – second applicant granted judicial review of decision refusing him permission to remain – all other relief refused.
