1) Changes to rules for staying removals

2) BID has produced 3 new bulletins for making bail applications


"we are acutely aware that we are making the task of legal representatives more difficult" UKBA 15/12/09

1) UKBA have once again changed the rules for making applications for Judicial Reviews to stay removals. Chapter 60 *Enforcement Instructions and Guidance has been updated and comes into force 11/01/2010

Chapter 60 Enforcement, the devil is in the details

From: "Ewen Macmillan"

The new Chapter 60 of the Enforcement Instructions provides for so many exceptions to the requirement to provide notice of removal that practically any detainee could, after 11 January 2010, be removed from the UK without any advance notification at all. How would it be possible to apply to the High Court for an injunction preventing removal if no notification of removal is issued? For instance, Chapter 60 states that no notification of removal need be issued: if the medical centre in an IRC determines that notification could induce a detainee to commit suicide (3.1.1); if a second removal is scheduled within 10 days of a first failed removal (3.2.1); particularly pernicious are the provisions to separate children from other family members including their mothers and remove each without the other and without notification of either (3.1.2 and 3.22).

This seems essentially a charter for detaining anyone (including British citizens) and handing them over to governments in countries of origin without any opportunity to inform their representatives or the courts of evidence of violence committed against them here or elsewhere. Chapter 60 surely amounts to the intentional and systematic suppression of evidence the High Court would wish to consider, with a complete disregard for resulting loss of life. Indeed conjecture that the loss of life is a collateral objective of these instructions by a government body might be justified. Unless the High Court is able to modify this, I think we may have crossed a vital frontier between administrative obstruction and fascism.

2) Bail Notebooks for Detainees

This message from Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID)

Bail for Immigration Detainees has produced three new information bulletins for detainees and their representatives, and a revised edition on our notebook on bail, which can be downloaded from our website at
 http://www.biduk.org/obtaining/notebook.htm

Bulletin 19 explains the new Section 4 application process for bail applicants
(All immigration detainees who do not have an address to put on their bail form are eligible for Section 4 accommodation. You do not have to have claimed asylum. You do not need to show you are destitute. You do not have to show that you are willing to return to your home country.)

Bulletin 28 summarises UKBA's policy on forced returns to Zimbabwe, Sudan (non-Arab Darfuris) and Somalia
(This bulletin is for people held in the UK under immigration powers in detention centres and prisons. It may also be useful for individuals and organisations supporting migrants and asylum seekers in detention.)

Bulletin 29 The right to legal aid in bail cases
(Explains detainees' rights to appeal decisions not to grant legal aid for bail applications; it is accompanied by a leaflet for solicitors on legal aid funding for bail.)

Best wishes,

Sarah Campbell
