The Case

Immigration Asylum seeker. Court of Appeal, Civil Division: On the true construction of ss96 and 97 of the the bringing of an appeal under the Act was a single event so that an appeal lodged against an invalid safe third country certificate and human rights certificate had been brought before the issue of a fresh such certificate. Moreover, as to whether a certificate that a claimant's human rights claim was clearly unfounded, it had to be borne in mind that, in Dublin cases (those to which Council Regulation (EC) 343-2003 (establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the member state responsible for examining an asylum claim lodged in one member state by a third country national) applied), the sole purpose of removal was to enable another state to entertain the same claim as had been made in the UK rather than to return to their country of origin someone who had failed to establish any right to be in the UK.
