Home office’s policy to remove migrants by giving them removal window within which they can be removed without notice is now suspended by the High Court. This will remain suspended for at least a few months until a detailed review of this policy.
In this case, Permission has also been granted to appeal to the Court of Appeal, and a hearing is expected in June or July.
This is good news for those migrants who were within that removal window (Usually 3 months).
69 removals have been cancelled as a result of the injunction however, the injunction does no more than requiring the Home Office to give claimants explicit notice enabling any new points to be raised.
