Court of Appeal Grants Permission for Appeal for 11 Appellants to join Refugee Sponsor in the UK (29 April 2016)

Date: 29/04/2016
Duncan Lewis, Public Law Solicitors, Court of Appeal Grants Permission for Appeal for 11 Appellants to join Refugee Sponsor in the UK

In recent decision, the Court of Appeal has granted permission to 11 appellants represented by Duncan Lewis Solicitors in an appeal against refusal of entry clearance to join their refugee sponsor, who is their oldest sibling and legal guardian, now residing in the UK.

The appellants were all minors at the date of the application for entry clearance.
The appeal will touch upon issues surrounding refugee family reunion principles and the relationship between Article 8 and adoptions from non-Hague Convention countries.

Howard Cheng, Immigration & Human Rights Solicitor at Duncan Lewis Solicitors who represented all 11 of the appellants added;

“This case touches upon an important matter of principle as the issue of the Hague Convention has the potential to affect a large number of refugee family reunion cases in light of the fact that of the top 10 refugee producing countries, only 2 are signatory to the Hague Convention.”

Howard Cheng is the lead Solicitor in the matter and is being assisted by Counsel David Ball of 36 Bedford Row.
