Understanding the Appeals Process

When appealing a denied refugee claim, each step requires precision, evidence, and strong advocacy. Here’s how our firm guides clients through the refugee appeals and judicial review processes:

1. Case Assessment and Appeal Eligibility

Our process begins with a detailed consultation to assess the specifics of your case, review the denial, and determine eligibility for appeal. John will evaluate the decision to identify any errors in fact or law that may support your appeal and discuss the options available.

2. Filing an Appeal with the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD)

For clients eligible for an appeal, we help prepare a comprehensive application to the Refugee Appeal Division, addressing errors in the initial decision and presenting new evidence, if applicable. John carefully crafts compelling arguments to advocate for a reversal or amendment of the decision.

3. Preparing a Judicial Review Application

If an appeal at the RAD is not an option or has been unsuccessful, John can file a judicial review application with the Federal Court. This process challenges the legality of the original decision and requests that the court review it for errors in fact, procedure, or law. We handle every aspect of this complex process, from drafting submissions to presenting arguments in court.

4. Stay of Removal Applications

For clients at risk of imminent removal, we assist in filing a stay of removal application to suspend deportation while your appeal or judicial review is underway. John works to ensure all necessary steps are taken swiftly to protect your safety and legal rights during this time.

5. Representation at the Federal Court Hearing

Should your case proceed to a Federal Court hearing, John provides experienced representation, presenting a clear and compelling case on your behalf. His familiarity with Federal Court procedures and ability to argue persuasively ensure that your appeal is given the best possible chance of success.
