R (on the application of AZ) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (statelessness "admissible") [2021] UKUT 00284 (IAC) 1. The word “admissible” must mean in the context of paragraph 403(c) the ability to enter lawfully and reside lawfully. “Admissible” does not incorporate the concept of “permanent residence”. 2.

M.A.A. v. D.E.M.E. I have concluded that the evidence establishes that the children would, on a balance of probabilities, suffer serious harm if returned to their habitual residence of Kuwait. Ontario therefore may and should exercise jurisdiction to determine custody and access. I have also concluded that it was an error to order the return of the children pending the determination of their refugee claim. 29 July 2020 \| Judicial Body: Canada: Court of Appeal for Ontario \| Document type: Case Law \| Topic(s): Children's rights - Children-at-risk - Physical harm - Refugee status determination (RSD) / Asylum procedures \| Countries: Canada - Kuwait
