>>> High Court finds passport office prevented from refusing passport to person who may not actually be British: Islam, R (On the Application Of) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2024] EWHC 1838 (Admin) (17 July 2024) (bailii.org)
In a really interesting case, the High Court has held that issue “estoppel” prevents His Majesty’s Passport Office from refusing to issue a passport to an applicant, because of a finding made by the First-tier Tribunal that he is, in fact, British, despite the lack of evidence. That case is Islam, R (On the Application Of) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2024] EWHC 1838.
