>>> Sopra Steria Update

From ILPA:

"We have been informed that Sopra Steria will be introducing improvements to their service which will become visible on their website on Tuesday 5 October 2021. We understand that as of 1 November 2021 , there will be an increase in the number of free appointments available and it will be possible to book a free appointment at all UKVCAS service points apart from premium lounges (and not just at core sites). We also understand that the cost of chargeable appointments will be standardised to one fixed fee of £125 including VAT".


>>> Immigration checks within the Common Travel Area

Immigration officials may stop people travelling from Ireland to Great Britain and ask to see their papers despite the Common Travel Area, the Home Office has confirmed.

A newly updated version (10.0) of the Common Travel Area guidance says:

    "Whilst there are no routine immigration controls when travelling to Great Britain (GB) via Ireland individuals may be required to provide a document to confirm their nationality and identity if they are encountered by an official as part of an intelligence led control on arrival from Ireland into GB."

This does not apply to journeys into Northern Ireland from the Republic of Ireland across the land border: “There will continue to be no immigration controls on those journeys”. (The Irish immigration authorities do not take that position and often board the Belfast to Dublin buses to ask passengers for ID.)

British and Irish citizens asked by Border Force for “proof of nationality and identity” do not have to present a passport necessarily, but in practice few will carry alternative “evidence of having obtained British or Irish citizenship”. EU citizens with pre-settled or settled status can show an ID card from their home countries. Most other foreign nationals will need to present a passport.

The documentary requirements for people travelling from the Crown Dependencies to the UK are lighter: proof of identity of some kind may be sufficient.

>>> Concession for temporary leave to allow employment as HGV fuel drivers: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/concession-for-temporary-leave-to-allow-employment-as-hgv-fuel-drivers

Certain foreign citizens who can drive fuel tankers can enter the UK without a visa until 15 October under a new immigration concession.

This concession applies if you arrive between 1 October 2021 and 15 October 2021.

You’ll be granted permission to enter and work in the UK as a fuel tanker driver until 31 March 2022, if a Border Force officer is satisfied that you meet the eligibility requirements at the UK border.

The Home Office published the Concession for temporary leave to allow employment as HGV fuel drivers on Saturday 2 October, 2101. It allows entry outside the normal Immigration Rules until 15 October, with permission lasting until 31 March 2022, for people who:

    -Are not visa nationals
    -Have an EU licence to drive HGV fuel tankers
    -Have an “endorsement letter” from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
    -Will be employed as a fuel tanker driver
    -Will not need to claim benefits
    -Intend to leave the UK afterwards

The scheme has been split up: 4,700 Seasonal Worker visas for drivers in the food haulage sector (expiring on 28 February 2022, not Christmas Eve as previously announced), and 300 places for fuel drivers under this concession. The terms of the concession itself do not mention such a limit, but presumably the business department will only issue 300 letters.

Meanwhile, the 5,500 Seasonal Worker visas for poultry workers will expire on 31 December (again instead of 24 December). Both they and the food haulage drivers “will arrive from late October”; or not, as it might be. It is not clear whether the application process will be in place any earlier than late October.

Ministers are also discussing whether “to allow up to 1,000 foreign butchers into the country”, according to the Times.

>>> EU court considers Comprehensive Sickness Insurance: https://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=246802&pageIndex=0&doclang=en&mode=lst&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=3287718

Advocate General Hogan’s opinion in case C‑247/20 VI v Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs concludes that someone no longer requires Comprehensive Sickness Insurance (CSI) once they have permanent residence under EU law.

The opinion is only advisory; it is not legally binding. But the opinion of the Advocate General is taken into account, and often followed, by the Court of Justice of the European Union when it issues its final decision. That final decision will not be binding in the UK due to Brexit; British judges can however take it into account in similar cases.

>>> Can I leave the UK after submitting my immigration application to the Home Office at all ?

The answer is "No", under the Para 34K of the UK Immigration Rules:

"34K. Where a decision on an application for permission to stay has not been made and the applicant travels outside the common travel area their application will be treated as withdrawn on the date the applicant left the common travel area."

Великобританія екстрено видасть 5 тисяч робочих віз водіям вантажівок

Уряд у Лондоні намагається знайти спосіб компенсувати брак водіїв великовантажних автомобілів, щоб своєчасно заповнити магазини товарами до Різдва.

Уряд Великобританії на тлі проблем з поставками продовольчих товарів і бензину в країні має намір видати 10500 робочих віз іноземним робітникам, у тому числі 5000 водіям вантажних автомобілів і 5500 фахівцям з переробки м'яса птиці. Таку заяву міністерство транспорту Сполученого Королівства зробило ввечері у суботу, 25 вересня.

Очікується, що володарі цих віз зможуть працювати в країні до 24 грудня і таким чином допоможуть своєчасно, до Різдва, заповнити товарами полиці британських супермаркетів і магазинів іграшок, повідомляє інформагенція dpa.

Профспілка: не вистачає близько 100 тисяч водіїв

За даними профспілки Road Haulage Association, в Сполученому Королівстві сьогодні не вистачає близько 100 тисяч водіїв великовантажних автомобілів. Саме через це останнім часом полиці супермаркетів по всій країні деколи виявлялися порожніми, а водії стикалися з нестачею пального на заправках.

Однією з причин нестачі кадрів стало викликане Brexit скорочення кількості громадян ЄС, які працюють у Великобританії, а також тривала перерва у школах з навчання водіїв через пандемію COVID-19, пояснює газета The Financial Times.

Заходи боротьби з браком водіїв вантажівок у Великобританії

25 вересня міністерство транспорту Великобританії опублікувало лист на своєму сайті, копії якого найближчим часом отримають водії вантажних машин, які вийшли на пенсію. Лист інформує про брак водіїв вантажівок на ринку праці і про можливості працевлаштування для них.

Охочим повернутися до роботи пенсіонерам обіцяють "привабливу зарплату, більше можливостей для гнучкого графіка, заздалегідь обумовлений обсяг годин, роботу на повний і скорочений день".

Іншим заходом, спрямованим на боротьбу з браком водіїв вантажівок у Великобританії, повинна стати субсидія міністерству освіти обсягом 10 мільйонів фунтів (11,7 мільйона євро в перерахунку), призначена для підготовки трьох тисяч водіїв з правами категорії C.

Водночас в Асоціації британських торгових палат вважають недостатніми заходи уряду у боротьбі з браком водіїв великовантажних автомобілів.

"Це як носити воду в наперстку, щоб загасити багаття", - заявила глава асоціації Рубі Макгрегор-Сміт. "Навіть якщо ці короткострокові можливості залучать максимальне число людей, які можуть отримати роботу за цією схемою, цього буде недостатньо, щоб вирішити проблему ланцюжків поставок у тому масштабі, якого вона досягла", - підкреслила експертка.

Кризис в Британии: "В очереди можно провести два-три часа"

Страна столкнулась с дефицитом рабочих, что повлекло нехватку продуктов и топлива

В Британии разразился кризис, связанный с дефицитом рабочей силы и, как следствие, нехваткой продовольствия и даже бензина. Это последствия не только пандемии коронавируса, но и брексита. "Вести" разобрались в причинах этого явления. По мнению экспертов, Лондон форсирует переход страны на следующий технологический уклад, что будет означать отказ от ископаемого топлива.

Мало бензина и продуктов

В конце лета и начале осени Британия столкнулась с дефицитом рабочих рук. После брексита работники из Польши, Балтии и других восточноевропейских стран вынуждены были покинуть страну: стало ощутимо не хватать строителей, сотрудников в перерабатывающей промышленности, сборщиков урожая. Но острее всего — дефицит водителей.

"Я пять раз подумаю, прежде чем выезжать куда-то на своей машине. Ведь чтобы заправить ее в следующий раз, мне нужно будет два-три часа простоять в очереди на заправке — сегодня топливо просто некому привезти на АЗС, — говорит "Вестям" Сергей Бондарчук, бывший гендиректор "Укрспецэкспорта", с 2014 года проживающий в Лондоне. — Есть и дефицит продуктов питания. К примеру, воду, к которой я привык, перестали привозить в маркеты".

Эта проблема потянула за собой кризис в аграрном секторе. Мелкие и средние фермеры, не имеющие собственного парка или лишившиеся водителей, вынужденно оставляют урожай на полях, сливают свеженадоенное молоко — хранить его негде, а вывезти некому.

"Неожиданно позвонили, сказали: не могут забрать наше молоко. Мы этого не ждали", — цитирует Euronews фермера Генри Блоксхэма.

Портал Logistics UK приводит статистику, согласно которой стране сегодня не хватает от 90 тыс. до 120 тыс. водителей. Это уже разогрело рынок труда.

"Сегодня обсуждают зарплаты для водителей в размере порядка 70 тыс. фунтов — довольно много по британским меркам, ведь доход в 80 тыс. в год и выше получает порядка 10% британских семей,— поясняет Бондарчук. — Лондон срочно принимает решение о выдаче рабочих виз для водителей грузовиков и прочих дефицитных специальностей — претендовать на них смогут и украинские специалисты, так что в перспективе это скажется на дефиците рабочих рук в Украине".

Сейчас сайты по подбору персонала предлагают работу низкоквалифицированному персоналу в Англии от 60 тыс. до 120 тыс. грн, и чаще всего речь о сборщиках урожая, сиделках и разнорабочих.

"Рушат систему неслучайно"

Вопрос с доставкой топлива на АЗС в итоге решили закрыть, задействовав армию. По словам Сергея Бондарчука, такую меру утвердили на последнем заседании правительства. Но всех проблем это не решит.

Еще один "побочный эффект" для экономики связан с энергетическим кризисом, который следом за ЕС накрыл и Британию. С августа цены на газ в Великобритании выросли на 70% и топливо с доставкой в октябре продают на газовой бирже NBP почти по $800 за тысячу кубометров. По этой причине американская компания CF Industries Holdings объявила об остановке заводов по производству удобрений, побочным продуктом производства которых является углекислый газ.

Теперь в стране практически отсутствует СО2, необходимый для производства продуктов питания (той же газировки или колы), забоя скота, сухого льда и т. п. В целом экономика Британии практически перестала показывать рост — в июле ее ВВП подрос всего на 0,1%, что уже ставят в вину правительству Бориса Джонсона.

"Однако происходящее — не случайные проблемы. Правительство прекрасно понимало, что последствия будут, но все равно пошло на это, осознавая, что стране необходимо переходить на следующий технологический уклад, то есть грядет полный отказ Лондона от использования невозобновляемых источников энергии, — говорит "Вестям" эксперт-международник Руслан Бизяев. — Вскоре Британия введет высокие налоги на двигатели внутреннего сгорания, чтобы население переходило на использование электромобилей и электрогрузовиков. А достичь этого максимально быстро можно, обрушив всю нынешнюю систему логистики".

>>> Home Office Letter Re: Rights of EU Settlement Scheme Applicants with a Pending Application

From the Home Office:

"The Home Office have recently noted a large number of queries relating to the rights of EUSS applicants; in particular, whether ‘late’ applicants hold the right to study in the UK whilst their application is pending.

Please find the following information which will hopefully address some of these queries:

Applicants who applied by 30 June 2021:

EEA citizens and their family members, who were resident in the UK by the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020 and who applied by 30 June 2021 to the EU Settlement Scheme, are advised not to travel outside the UK/to the UK until they are in possession of a Certificate of Application, confirming they have made a valid in-time application to the scheme. If travel before then is necessary, they may experience delays at the border whilst their application is confirmed. In such cases, where it can be confirmed that the pending application has been made by an EEA citizen or their family member, who was resident in the UK by the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020, they will be admitted.

Applicants who applied by the deadline of 30 June 2021 have their rights in the UK protected pending the outcome of the application and any appeal, by the Citizens’ Rights (Application Deadline and Temporary Protection) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2020/9780348212204

Applicants who applied after 30 June 2021:

EEA citizens and their family members, who were resident in the UK by the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020 and who applied to the EU Settlement Scheme after the 30 June 2021 deadline, must not travel outside the UK/to the UK until they are in possession of a Certificate of Application, confirming they have made a valid application to the scheme. They may also be asked to provide evidence they were resident in the UK by the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020 in order to be admitted.

Applicants who apply after the deadline of 30 June 2021 also have their rights in the UK protected pending the outcome of the application and any appeal. They require a Certificate of Application to prove those rights whilst their application and any appeal are pending.

A Certificate of Application is issued as soon as an application is valid in accordance with paragraph EU9 of the Immigration Rules for the EUSS in Appendix EU. Applicants who have a digital Certificate of Application can log into the online View and Prove service using their UKVI account, and generate a share code to prove their rights. This includes share codes for the right to work, study or rent and other purposes.

In the case of ‘late’ applicants, they are unable to prove their right to study in the UK without their Certificate of Application. As such, this document is required before a ‘late’ EUSS applicant can be enrolled on a course. "

>>> Can a student run a business or be a self-employed person ?

The answer is "No" under para ST 26.5.:


    - ST 26.5. A Student is not allowed to do any of the following:

        (b) work as a professional sportsperson (including as a sports coach); or
        (c) work as an entertainer; or
        (d) work in a position which would fill a permanent full-time vacancy unless ST 26.6. applies.

    - ST 26.6. If a Student has permission and makes an application for permission to stay under the Skilled Worker route, supported by a Certificate of Sponsorship assigned by a licensed sponsor, the Student can start the employment for which the Certificate of Sponsorship was assigned, for up to 3 months prior to the course completion date, provided:
        (a) the Student is studying a full-time course of study at degree level or above with a higher education provider with a track record of compliance; and
        (b) the application as a Skilled Worker was made when the applicant had permission as a Student; and
        (c) a decision has not been made on the Skilled Worker application, or where a decision has been made, any Administrative Review against a refusal has not been finally determined.

>>> Can an immigration decision be (long) delayed during a criminal investigation?

See https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2021/1480.html

This was the question before the Court of Appeal in R (X and others) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2021] EWCA Civ 1480.

The court decided that the answer is “yes”, with some caveats.

>>> Government must obey court orders even if invalid, Supreme Court holds: https://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKSC/2021/46.html

The Supreme Court has this recently handed down judgment in R (Majera) (formerly SM Rwanda) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2021] UKSC 46. The appeal, as Lord Reed states in his opening sentence, raised a “question of constitutional importance”. That question was whether the government (or anyone else) can lawfully act in a manner inconsistent with a defective order of a court or tribunal without first having that order set aside or varied.

The answer, the Supreme Court has concluded unanimously, is "no".

>>> The Home Office can ignore human rights claims: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2021/1500.html

The Court of Appeal has given its long-awaited decision in the case of MY (Pakistan) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2021] EWCA Civ 1500. Unfortunately, it confirms that the Home Office can refuse to engage with a human rights claim for permission to stay in the UK which is not made using the specified form or process. That leaves the applicant with no right of appeal.

>>> May a person be admitted at the border with the expired ILR BRP card ?

The answer is "may be", on the basis of the para 18 of the UK Immigration Rules:

"18. A person may resume their residence in the UK provided the Immigration Officer is satisfied that the person concerned:

    (i) had indefinite leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom when he last left; and
    (ii) has not been away from the United Kingdom for more than 2 years; and
    (iii) did not receive assistance from public funds towards the cost of leaving the United Kingdom; and
    (iv) now seeks admission for the purpose of settlement."

>>> Another Russian name creates a case-law

In R (Gornovskiy) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (unreported, JR/582/2021) the Upper Tribunal quashed the Home Secretary’s decision to grant 12 months’ restricted leave to a man who has been on either restricted or discretionary leave since 2008.

>>> Challenge to automatic British citizenship for Northern Irish people thrown out: https://www.judiciaryni.uk/judicial-decisions/2021-niqb-79

In Re Ní Chuinneagain [2021] NIQB 79 the High Court in Northern Ireland has thrown out a challenge to automatic British citizenship for people who reject it.

The claimant is from Belfast and regards herself as 100% Irish, from passport to first language. Section 1(1) of the British Nationality Act 1981 says that she is also a British citizen. Ms Ní Chuinneagain objects, and refuses to renounce her unwanted second nationality, saying that “doing so would represent an acceptance that she was born a British citizen, in addition to having to pay the administrative cost involved”.

Mr Justice Scoffield found that being legally British “takes nothing away” from Ms Ní Chuinneagain’s rights as an Irish (and EU) citizen: “she is effectively free to ignore it”. Unlike in De Souza [2019] UKUT 355 (IAC), there was no “concrete detriment” to dual nationality. It could not “seriously be suggested” that filling in the renunciation paperwork would be a breach of her human rights.

Nor was the Good Friday Agreement any help:

    "it is a matter of well-established law that the Belfast Agreement (or the British-Irish Agreement), as an international agreement, is not enforceable as a matter of domestic law, unless and until (and only insofar as) it is incorporated into domestic law."

The Northern Ireland Protocol didn’t change this, as it “does not seek to give independent legal effect” to the Agreement.

Scoffield J added that, even if the Good Friday Agreement were enforceable in court, it’s not clear that it actually forbids automatic British citizenship for Irish people.

>>> New guidance on fresh Asylum claims:

The official headnote

Paragraph 353 of the Immigration Rules

1. The importance of paragraph 353 of the Immigration Rules (“Paragraph 353”) is as a “gate-keeping” function to shut out from the appeals system unmeritorious second or subsequent appeals. An appeal is generated under the current form of section 82 Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (“the 2002 Act”) whenever a protection or human rights “claim” is made and refused. However, the Respondent is not obliged to treat repeat submissions as a “claim” leading to a “decision” generating a right of appeal in every case (Robinson v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2020] AC 942).

2. The words “if rejected” in Paragraph 353 specifically contemplate that the Respondent must form a view on the merits of the further submissions, in the sense that she may decide the submissions are such as to warrant the grant of leave to enter or remain (and to recognise the person as a refugee or otherwise entitled to international protection). It is only if she does not do so that Paragraph 353 requires her to determine if the (ex hypothesi) rejected submissions are a fresh claim, the refusal of which constitutes a decision falling within section 82 of the 2002 Act. It is artificial to separate the underlying merits of what is put forward from the question whether something “significantly different” is being advanced for the purposes of Paragraph 353. It is not the case, therefore, that the Respondent has “decided” a “claim” under section 82 of the 2002 Act in any case where she considers further submissions or a further application and concludes that the submissions or application do not merit the grant of leave.

3. The end-to-end process where Paragraph 353 applies is as follows:

Stage 1: The Applicant makes human rights or protection claim.
Stage 2: That claim is refused by the Respondent, giving rise to a right of appeal under section 82 of the 2002 Act.
Stage 3: The Applicant’s appeal is unsuccessful; or the Applicant does not appeal or withdraws his appeal; or the refusal is certified under section 94 of the 2002 Act.
Stage 4: The Applicant makes second or subsequent submissions by way of written submissions or application (“the Further Submissions”).
Stage 5: The Respondent considers whether to accept or reject the Further Submissions on their merits.
Stage 6: If the Further Submissions are accepted on their merits, the Respondent grants leave/recognises Applicant’s status.
Stage 7: If the Further Submissions are rejected, the Respondent goes on to consider whether they nonetheless amount to a fresh protection or human rights claim; i.e. a categorisation decision is made.
Stage 8: If the Respondent determines that the Further Submissions do not amount to a fresh claim, she rejects them as such. No refusal of a human rights or protection claim arises, within the meaning of section 82(1)(a) or (b) of the 2002 Act. If, however, she determines that they do amount to a fresh claim, then a “decision” has been made to refuse a “claim” for the purposes of Section 82 (1)(a) or (b) of the 2002 Act and a right of appeal arises against that decision

4. The guidance given in Sheidu (further submissions; appealable decisions; Sudan) [2016] UKUT 412 (IAC) is that if the effect of a decision is a refusal of a claim under section 82 of the 2002 Act, then there is a right of appeal even if the Respondent had intended to refuse further submissions applying Paragraph 353. That guidance turns on the interpretation of the particular decision letter under consideration in that case. In some (albeit extreme) cases such as Sheidu, the Upper Tribunal may conclude in the context of a judicial review challenge that what the Respondent actually did was not what she intended to do. Such cases are nevertheless likely to be rare.

5. Whether a decision of the Respondent is a decision to refuse to treat submissions as a fresh claim or the refusal of what is accepted to be a fresh claim is a matter of substance and not form. The nature of the decision does not depend where in the decision letter Paragraph 353 is raised. It is
necessary to look at a Paragraph 353 decision under challenge as a whole. It must be interpreted objectively, considered fairly in the round and in substance.

The Role of the Tribunal in Judicial Review Challenges to Paragraph 353 Decisions

6. Balajigari and others v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2019] 1 WLR 4647 and R (oao BAA and Another) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Dublin III: judicial review; SoS’s duties) [2020] UKUT 00227 (IAC) did not involve fresh claim decisions. As such they are distinguishable from fresh claims cases. The case law in relation to fresh claims has consistently stated that the role of the Tribunal is only to consider whether the decision is Wednesbury unreasonable or involves other public law error: (WM (DRC) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2007] Imm AR 337).

7. In a Judicial Review of a decision made under Paragraph 353, the Upper Tribunal is tasked with considering the Respondent’s decision for rejecting the submissions as a fresh claim. The Tribunal is not required to reach a decision for itself whether the Respondent’s decision breaches an applicant’s human rights. The position in this regard is akin to that where an appellate court or tribunal is examining the legality of the mixed legal and factual conclusion reached by a fact-finding tribunal on whether a decision violates Article 8 rights.

8. In the event that further material comes to light, the remedy for an applicant is to make further submissions to the Respondent and not seek to place the Tribunal in the role of primary decision-maker.

>>> The UK Government to deprive British  citizens of their citizenship without telling them
The Home Secretary can take away anyone’s British citizenship when it would be “conducive to the public good”, but would not make that person stateless. She can also take away naturalised citizenship if obtained by fraud, false representation or concealment of a material fact.

The circumstances in which the Home Secretary has exercised this power for “the public good” have largely concerned Brits who travelled to foreign countries to join Islamist terrorist groups. The power has had the practical effect of preventing them from re-entering the UK, meaning they do not become a terrorist threat on domestic soil.

The government is now about to change the law so that people will no longer need to be notified about being stripped of their citizenship.

>>> Immigration Enforcement to decide human trafficking claims: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/modern-slavery-how-to-identify-and-support-victims

Immigration Enforcement has been given the power to decide whether or not someone is a victim of human trafficking. An update to the Modern Slavery guidance, published on 8 November, includes an “Immigration Enforcement Competent Authority” alongside what was the sole, centralised decision-making body, the “Single Competent Authority”.

The Immigration Enforcement Competent Authority is responsible for:

        "- All adult Foreign National Offenders (FNOs) detained in an Immigration Removal Centre.
        - All adult FNOs in prison where a decision to deport has been made.
        - All adult FNOs in prison where a decision has yet to be made on deportation.
        - Non-detained adult FNOs where action to pursue cases towards deportation is taken in the community .
        - All individuals detained in an Immigration Removal Centre (IRC) managed by the National Returns Command (NRC), including those in the Detained Asylum Casework (DAC) process.
        - All individuals in the Third Country Unit (TCU)/inadmissible process irrespective of whether detained or non-detained."

That leaves the Single Competent Authority with all other trafficking cases, including any concerned with children.

That leaves the Single Competent Authority with all other trafficking cases, including any concerned with children.

The Home Office professes to believe that the trafficking system is being abused. 90% of trafficking referrals from detention centres in 2019 saw the person pass the first stage, the “reasonable grounds” decision, according to internal analysis. Giving the department’s enforcement arm its own decision-making powers is likely intended to foster a culture of greater scepticism about trafficking claims from people being lined up for deportation.

>>> Liars can still be genuine trafficking victims: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2021/3019.html

Some important points on inconsistency and credibility in trafficking cases from David Lock QC, sitting as a deputy High Court judge:

    "The expert evidence in this case from Mr Steve Harvey, who has long experience in the police and in Europol in trafficking matters, is that he has never known a trafficking case where there were no inconsistencies in the account of events given by the victim. Inconsistencies may, of course, be evidence to suggest that a person is lying but in this context it is important decision makers recognise that there are many other potential explanations for inconsistencies."

And:

    "In a case where a person has suffered substantial trauma from repeated beatings and other unspeakable behaviour at the hands of those who controlled him, the psychological consequences of those events may result in the applicant’s recollection of events being entirely incoherent and thus of no value at all in deciding what had happened to him or he may continue to be so fearful of those who were controlling him that he may deny there was any abuse, coercion or forced labour. This is expressly recognised in the Guidance. In such a case, the applicant may be lying or his account of events may have no value whatsoever but the evidence of the physical or psychological condition of the individual will nonetheless be more than sufficient evidence that the person was a victim of trafficking."

>>> Upper Tribunal is not the place for new evidence: https://tribunalsdecisions.service.gov.uk/utiac/2021-ukut-272

Immigration appeals can last a long time: often years and years. What happens when things change during the appeal? This is the question answered by the Upper Tribunal in Akter (appellate jurisdiction; E and R challenges) [2021] UKUT 272 (IAC).

The main take away from this case is: don’t appeal to the Upper Tribunal on the basis of new evidence. Send it to the Home Office instead. This can be frustrating, as it essentially means starting the whole process all over again. But given the Upper Tribunal’s reluctance to consider anything that was not before the First-tier Tribunal, it is likely to be the only way to get anyone to look at it and consider the case afresh.

The official headnote

"(1) GM (Sri Lanka) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2019] EWCA Civ 1630 is not authority for the proposition that an appellate court or tribunal has a free-standing duty, derived from section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998 (public authority not to act incompatibly with ECHR right), to disturb a decision of a lower tribunal. The jurisdiction of the appellate court or tribunal is governed by sections 12 and 14 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, which depends on the lower tribunal having made an error of law before its decision can be disturbed on appeal.

(2) A party who wishes to submit that a decision of a tribunal which is otherwise free from legal error should be disturbed on appeal on the basis identified by Carnwath LJ in E and R v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2004] EWCA Civ 49 should do so clearly, when seeking permission to appeal on that basis.

(3) In deciding whether the principles in Ladd v Marshall [1954] 1 WLR 1489, as applied by E & R, should be modified in exceptional circumstances, the ability to make fresh submissions to the Secretary of State, pursuant to paragraph 353 of the immigration rules, is highly material to the question of whether those principles should be diluted."

>>> Which immigration form may be used to apply for the early settlement concession for young people living half their lives in the UK ?

Currently, there is no clarity from the Home Office. Yet the present wording of the policy indicates that the concession will be considered at the time of an ‘application’ and refers back to the policy that ILR can be considered exceptionally where an application for further leave to remain is made if requested. Therefore, the general understanding is that as the concession is accessed, by making the request for ILR at the time of making an application for further leave to remain using Form FLR(FP) if applicants have accrued 5 years lawful residence and prior to the expiry of their existing leave.

>>> Upper Tribunal revisits issue of permission for video evidence from abroad: https://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKUT/IAC/2021/286.html

The Upper Tribunal published its decision in Agbabiaka (evidence from abroad, Nare guidance) Nigeria [2021] UKUT 286 (IAC). The tribunal found that a party seeking to have oral evidence given from abroad needs to “make the necessary enquiries” with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to check whether the foreign government in question has any objection. The full headnote is set out below.

The official headnote

(1) There is an understanding among Nation States that one State should not seek to exercise the powers of its courts within the territory of another, without having the permission of that other State to do so. Any breach of that understanding by a court or tribunal in the United Kingdom risks damaging this country’s relationship with other States with which it has diplomatic relations and is, thus, contrary to the public interest. The potential damage includes harm to the interests of justice.

(2) The position of the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs is that it is accordingly necessary for there to be permission from such a foreign State (whether on an individual or general basis) before oral evidence can be taken from that State by a court or tribunal in the United Kingdom. Such permission is not considered necessary in the case of written evidence or oral submissions.

(3) Henceforth, it will be for the party to proceedings before the First-tier Tribunal who is seeking to have oral evidence given from abroad to make the necessary enquiries with the Taking of Evidence Unit of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), in order to ascertain whether the government of the foreign State has any objection to the giving of evidence to the Tribunal from its territory.

(4) The First-tier Tribunal will need to be informed at an early stage of the wish to give evidence from abroad. The party concerned will need to give the Tribunal an indication of the nature of the proposed evidence (which need not, at this stage, be in the form of a witness statement).

(5) The Tribunal’s duty to seek to give effect to the overriding objective may require it, in particular, to consider alternatives to the giving of oral evidence where (for example) there are delays in the FCDO obtaining an answer from the foreign State. Each case will need to be considered on its merits.

(6) The experience gained by the First-tier Tribunal in hearing oral evidence given in the United Kingdom by remote means during the Covid-19 pandemic is such that there should no longer be a general requirement for such evidence to be given from another court or tribunal hearing centre.

(7) The guidance given by the Upper Tribunal in Nare (evidence by electronic means) Zimbabwe [2011] UKUT 443 (IAC) is amended to the above extent.
