If your client is facing deportation, an urgent and thorough response is required. Having a clear understanding of each step in the process, who to contact and when, your role (and that of your client, INZ, MBIE Legal, and the courts), and any issues to be aware of, is therefore vitally important. While most deportations have been on hold, they will be resuming now the borders are reopening. It is therefore timely to refresh your knowledge in this area. In this On Demand, you will receive practical guidance and valuable insights into the deportation process from the perspectives of counsel, INZ Compliance and MBIE Legal.
