A v Minister of Internal Affairs - [2020] NZHC 2782

Judicial review of Minister's decision to cancel applicant's passport under Passports Act 1992 on basis that applicant was a danger to the security of another country. Applicant argued her passport ceased to exist before the decision, rendering it void. Special advocate submitted Minister applied the wrong test for intention to facilitate a terrorist act, and insufficient information to reasonably believe such intention. Application dismissed. Applicant's argument untenable.  Special advocate's grounds also failed - correct test applied and there was sufficient information. Further reasons in closed judgment taking account of classified security information.
