Venezuelan woman loses High Court challenge over job permit refusal

A woman has failed in a High Court challenge in which she claimed she was wrongly refused a job permit because her role as a trainee accountant was incorrectly categorised by the Minister for Business Enterprise and Innovation.

Venezuelan national Julia Olivera Rodriguez, who has a degree in public accounting from the South American country, came here in June 2017 on work permits which were extended until April 2019.
