144: Application to Tribunal for cessation of recognition as refugee or protected person
or “Tribunal can review and possibly end your refugee or protected person status”
You could also call this:

“Revoking refugee or protected person status for New Zealand citizens in certain cases”

If you are a New Zealand citizen recognised as a refugee or protected person, a refugee and protection officer can cancel this recognition in certain situations. This can happen if the original recognition was made by a refugee and protection officer, or under the former Act by a refugee status officer or before 1 October 1999, or if you were recognised as a refugee outside New Zealand and came here under a government programme.

The officer can cancel your recognition if they find that you got it through fraud, forgery, false or misleading information, or by hiding important facts. They can also cancel it if you’ve been convicted of a crime where it was proven that you got your recognition in these dishonest ways.

Another reason for cancellation is if the officer decides that some important parts of the Refugee Convention (Articles 1D, 1E, and 1F) might not have been properly looked at when you were first recognised. This could be because of fraud or hidden information.

In all these cases, the refugee and protection officer must also decide that you are not actually a refugee or protected person before they can cancel your recognition.
