The claimant sought a review of the decision of the respondent not to respond to his request for a declaration as to his entitlement to citizenship.
Held: The question the claimant sought to be answered was one for the courts to answer, not the respondent. That is why the system gave no right of administrative review or appeal against the respondent’s refusal to acknowledge the claim for citizenship. Since the respondent had not determined any of the claimant’s rights, his human rights had not either been engaged.
