Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Immigration round-up: June 2026
Q: Why did the Court of Appeal decline to expand guidance on Iranian surplus claims?
The court found that surplus claims are highly fact-sensitive and that tribunals cannot reasonably rely on speculative findings; evidence must support the specific circumstances of each case.
Immigration round-up: June 2026
Q: What does Version 7 change for refugees who traveled directly to the UK?
Version 7 adds a Section 31 defense for refugees who traveled directly to the UK and updates the balance-of-probabilities framework, affecting how such cases are assessed for naturalization.
Immigration round-up: June 2026
Q: What are the main factors driving the asylum appeal backlog right now?
The main factors are a high intake of appeals entering the system combined with a comparatively slower rate of decisions being issued, creating a growing backlog and longer wait times for a final decision.
Immigration roundup: April 2024
Q: Have you got any idea when that's going to be heard and what the impact might be?
The pre-action letter has been sent. I don't think that they have lodged yet.
Immigration roundup: April 2024
Q: Colin, how are you today?
I'm fine. Weather's good. It's not cold anymore. It's nice and warm and sunny. Yeah, I'm good, thank you.
