463: Immigration officers who may make and cancel removal orders under former Act

You could also call this:

“Who can make or cancel removal orders under the old immigration law”

If you’re an immigration officer chosen by the chief executive to make removal orders under section 54 of the old law, you can still make these orders if needed to finish any tasks this part of the law covers. You can also cancel removal orders under section 58 of the old law if it’s necessary to complete any tasks this part covers.

You can’t see the reasons for decisions made by immigration officers under section 58 of the old law. This is because the rule about accessing your personal information doesn’t apply here.

Remember, this only applies to you if you were still officially an immigration officer right before section 404 of this new law started.

  1. Despite section 462(1) of this Act, an immigration officer designated by the chief executive for the purpose of section 54 of the former Act—

  2. may continue to make removal orders under that section if the making of an order is necessary for the purposes of completing any matter to which this Part applies; and
    1. may continue to cancel removal orders under section 58 of the former Act if the cancelling of an order is necessary for the purposes of completing any matter to which this Part applies.
