Avon and Bristol Law Centre request for Judicial Review in asylum case granted

The Law Centre hopes a favorable outcome may iron-out inconsistencies in the decision-making processes around asylum cases, and pave the way for hundreds of other people at risk in their own country to stay in the United Kingdom.

Speaking to the Bristol Evening Post on Tuesday, Avon and Bristol Law Centre claim a backlog of asylum cases held-up in the Home Office has left hundreds of asylum seekers trapped in a legal grey-area, leaving them unsure whether they will be granted permission to remain in the UK.

Requesting a judicial review into Mr Ahmed’s asylum case, the Law Centre hopes to address inconsistencies in decision-making processes around asylum cases with the hope that Mr Ahmed, and other people in a similar position, may win the right to remain in the UK. 

The hearing is due to take place in a few months time.
