SUMMARY
(Excerpt from judgment)
[1] These are humanitarian appeals from the appellants, citizens of Tuvalu, against their liability for deportation which arose when they became unlawfully in New Zealand.
[2] The appellants are a married couple. The husband is aged 69 years and the wife 53 years. The primary issue on appeal is whether the appellants’ desire to stay in New Zealand with their New Zealand-resident daughter and her family gives rise to exceptional humanitarian circumstances.
[3] For the reasons that follow, the Tribunal declines the appeals but directs that the appellants be granted visitor visas valid for one month.
