NGUYEN VAN THANH V. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE

Nguyen Van Thanh, a Vietnamese non-refoulement claimant in custody, filed a summons after his leave application was dismissed, but at the hearing he confirmed he was actually seeking habeas corpus for release from detention to resolve family debt problems. The court found this was beyond its jurisdiction in the judicial review proceedings and made no order on the summons.
