This deals with claims caught mid-process by a danger-to-the-public opinion under the old Act. A refugee claim by such a person, where no officer had decided it yet, becomes a claim by someone the current Act treats as inadmissible with a danger opinion attached. People who had lost their appeal rights under the old danger provisions lost them under the current equivalent too, and people whose removal the old Act had already allowed despite protection fall under the current exception to that protection.
