answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>In the case of Help Refugees v SSHD, handed down on the 3 October 2018, the Court of Appeal made a finding that the provision of inadequate reasons to children refused transfer to the UK under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 breached the common law duty of fairness and was therefore unlawful. The cohort of children impacted by this judgment is limited to those who were considered for transfer to the UK during the clear-ance operation regarding the Calais camp in 2016 the judgment is not reflective of the operation of the section 67 scheme generally.</p><p><br>The relief granted by the Court of Appeal in its judgment is declaratory, the court did not identify or mandate a particular course of action to be taken in response to its findings. The response to the judgment is currently a matter of active consideration.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 12/12/2018 16:24:25 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
