Jurisdiction
Trinidad and Tobago
Parties
Appellant(s)
Yonggao Pan
Respondent(s)
Minister of National Security
Issue
1. Were the reasons given for a Deportation Order were sufficient? 2. Does the Appellant require permission from the court to bring a judicial review claim to determine the adequacy of the reasons given in the Deportation Order, or does he have an automatic right to do so?
Facts
The Appellant was sent a Deportation Order which the Appellant contends contained 'reasons' that did not fulfil the statutory requirement to give reasons in the law of Trinidad and Tobago and/or any common law duty to give reasons. The High Court refused permission to apply for judicial review and found that the reasons given were adequate. The Court of Appeal found there was no automatic right to apply for judicial review and permission of the court would be required. The Court of Appeal also agreed with the trial judge that the reasons given were adequate. The Court of Appeal granted permission to apply to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
