With the granting of leave for B to appeal the Court of Appeal’s ruling, this means that the Federal Court will hear questions of law in the child’s citizenship case. The High Court had on August 23, 2017 rejected the child’s citizenship bid, while the Court of Appeal on February 14, 2019 similarly dismissed the citizenship bid.

The child’s lawyers had submitted five questions of law for the Federal Court to determine, but had voluntarily dropped one of the questions, Pereira said.
