1CL Weekly Webinar: Damages Claims against the Home Office: the Implications of Hans Husson
Published: 22/10/2020
Event Date:
The Court of Appeal case of R (Hans Husson) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2020] EWCA Civ 329 earlier this year highlighted the possibility of bringing claims in damages against the Home Office for delay in making immigration decisions, both under Article 8 of the ECHR in just satisfaction and by virtue of incremental expansion in the common law of negligence.
In this webinar Russell Wilcox and Katie Ayres discuss the case of Husson and seek to draw out some of its potential implications for ongoing and future claims.
