High Court, in judicial review proceedings concerning deportation of a Nepalese national, vacates the stay on the deportation which was granted ex parte, on the grounds that he had failed to comply with his statutory presentation requirements and, in breach of the obligations on a party making an ex parte application, failed to inform the Court of his failure to comply with the statutory obligations.
Asylum and immigration – judicial review – Nepalese student came to the State on a student permission – permission expired – sought renewal – not positively refused – notice of intention to deport – deportation order made – failed to present on required days – presented on other days - applied to Court for a stay on the deportation order - leave to seek judicial review adjourned - State was not put on even informal notice of the intention to seek a stay – adjournments in the list - application for an extension of time to seek leave to seek judicial review – Minister brought an application to discharge stay – whether the stay should be discharged – argued stays in judicial review should only be granted after the grant of leave - day of narrow legalistic restrictions based on the particular wordings of rules of court is over - court most certainly had jurisdiction to grant the stay originally - failure to comply with his statutory presentation requirements - failure to inform the court when getting the stay ex parte of his breach of those obligations - too casual approach to his legal obligations - should have made sure to adequately inform the court of such failures - obligation of disclosure in an ex parte application - maintaining the stay is thus inappropriate - existing stay is in too wide terms in the circumstances - any stay needs to be conditional on an applicant’s continued presentation – Court ordered that the ex parte stay be vacated – leave application adjourned –
