It was not a judicial discretion.
It was a ministerial ie executive discretion.
Ministerial discretions, exercised by a secretary of one nation (as opposed to another) do not arise by reason of differing "legal systems". They arise by reason of
executive sovereignty of a nation state
and the fact that at the time the decision is made, the secretary was the relevant minister or discretion holder ie office holder
in that state.
Keep digging.
