Reasons
Anonymity: The evidence before the court establishes that the Claimant is a vulnerable individual in serious physical and mental ill health currently detained under immigration powers and awaiting a decision whether he is to be deported from the United Kingdom. In my view, his circumstances at the present time do provide a convincing justification for granting him limited anonymity in these proceedings. There are accordingly compelling reasons for the limited derogations from the principle of open justice in paragraph 1.
Mandatory injunction: The grounds of this proposed claim raise a serious issue to be tried. I am satisfied that the evidence provided in support of the claim and this urgent application demonstrates a strong prima facie case justifying the grant of the mandatory order sought against the Second Defendant. The Claimant is an adult at risk who has been in detention since 11 March 2025. Since 4 June 2025 he has been in receipt of the grant of bail subject to the condition that he reside at premises provided and approved by his probation officer. The commencement of his bail is dependent on that condition being fulfilled. Bail has since been renewed subject to the same condition on 2 July 2025 and 30 July 2025. Urgent inquiries and requests for progress reports made on his behalf since that date have not resulted in any clear timescale within which this adult at risk may expect to be released from detention in accordance with the conditions of his bail. The urgent interim order sought on his behalf is clearly justified for the reasons stated in the application.
