Administrative Court Judgment - Dublin II Regulation: The French ‘Priority Procedure’ & Risk of Refoulement. (11 February 2015)
Date: 11/02/2015
R (oao) AI v The Secretary of State for the Home Department [2015] EWHC 244 (Admin) (09 February 2015.)
This case concerns the decision of the Secretary of State for the Home Department to return the claimant to France, despite being made aware of numerous deficiencies within the French ‘Priority Procedure’; the equivalent to the Detained Fast Track procedure of the United Kingdom.
Ms. D. Gill, sitting as Deputy High Court Judge, stated that the Secretary of State for the Home Department was "fully entitled to conclude that there is no real risk of the claimant being refouled to Sudan by France, in breach of his right to asylum and his right not to be subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment."
Permission will be sought to appeal this decision.
