Section 214 — Immigration Act 2009: Effect of suspension on appeal

214 Effect of suspension on appeal (1) This section applies if the Minister suspends a person’s liability for deportation, and the person has lodged an appeal under this Part against that liability. (2) If the person does not withdraw the appeal, the Tribunal may, on the application of the person, adjourn any appeal on humanitarian grounds lodged by the person. (3) If the person’s liability for deportation is cancelled under section 172 or 174(2) , the Tribunal may dispense with its consideration of any aspects of the appeal that have not been determined at that point. (4) If the person is served with a deportation liability notice under section 172(3) , the Tribunal must then continue to determine any aspects of the person’s appeal that have not yet been determined. (5) To avoid doubt, a suspension of liability for deportation does not affect any time limit by which an appeal must be lodged under this Act.
