Ibrahim, R (on the application of) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2016] EWHC 158 (Admin) (2 February 2016)

In the High Court of Justice- Queen's Bench Division - Administrative Court

The Claimant is a Sudanese national who, on 10 August 2015, was granted asylum in the UK. He challenges the lawfulness of an earlier period of detention on two alternative grounds:

i) Between 19 August and 29 September 2014, as a breach of the Defendant's published policy not to detain those where there is independent evidence that they had been tortured, save in very exceptional circumstances.

ii) Between 27 August and 29 September 2014 as a breach of the Hardial Singh principles, as removal was no longer imminent once these judicial review proceedings had been started.
