The Refugee & Migrant Forum of Essex & London & Adjei (respondent) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (appellant)
Tuesday 24 – Wednesday 25 June 2025
Appeal by the Secretary of State for the Home Department (SSHD) against the order of Mr Justice Cavanagh, sitting in the Administrative Court, dated 26 June 2024 who ordered that the Judicial Review claims succeed and found that the SSHD’s failure to provide a digital document of 3C leave is unlawful because it is Wednesbury unreasonable and also breaches section 55 of the Borders and Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009.
The two conjoined applications for JR had the same grounds of appeal from RAMFEL (a charity who supports vulnerable migrants) and Ms Adjei (both are respondents in this appeal). The claims in brief, related to the adverse impact and unlawful discrimination a person with section 3C leave might have by an employer or landlord if undocumented.
The Judge found that the claimants succeeded and that grounds 2 and 4 were made out.
