Human rights and discretionary applications
In difficult immigration cases, the fundamental rights of the individual – as set out in the European Convention on Human Rights – may be in play. The right to respect for family and private life (Article 8) or the prohibition on inhuman and degrading treatment, punishment or torture (Article 3) may be engaged by a decision to remove someone from the UK, or to refuse them entry.
Our partners are experienced in preparing and presenting human rights-based applications, and requests for exercise of discretion outside of the rules.
