THE SUPREME COURT
PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE:
Appeal
Interlocutory relief pending appeal - Injunction restraining implementation of deportation order - Whether applicant entitled to stay on implementation of deportation order that had been deemed valid by an unappealable decision of High Court - Rules of the Superior Courts 1986 (SI15/1986), O 58, r 18 - Application dismissed (154/2006 - SC - 10/7/2006) [2006] IESC 44
C (L) v Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform
Facts: This was a challenge by way of judicial review to the refusal by the respondent to revoke a deportation order under s. 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999. The provisions of s. 5(3) of the Illegal Immigrants (Trafficking) Act 2000 did not apply. The issue in the appeal was whether the respondent ought to have revoked the deportation order but the validity of the order itself was not being and could not be challenged in the appeal. The applicant applied for an injunction restraining the deportation pending the determination of the appeal.
Held by the Supreme Court (McCracken, Kearns and Macken JJ) in refusing the relief sought that the decision being appealed from was a decision made under s. 3(11) not to revoke the deportation order and there was no appeal in relation to the deportation order itself. If the Court were to grant an injunction the effect would be to thwart the operation of a perfectly valid deportation order and would prevent the operation of a perfectly valid and unappealable High Court order.
