Appeals tend to be more complicated than administrative reviews. If you want to challenge a decision made by the Home Office because you think that decision was wrong you may be able to appeal that decision. If you are in the UK and want to appeal, it will be held before a Judge at the First-Tier Immigration Tribunal and must be within 14 days of receiving a decision; if you were denied entry clearance, you must do so within 28 days. There is a hierarchy of tribunals and courts in the appeals system; thus if an appeal is rejected by the First-Tier Tribunal, there may be an additional right of appeal to the Upper Tribunal, followed by higher courts.

The following are a few examples of decisions that Lumine Solicitors can appeal:

• A human rights claim refusal e.g., family and private life grounds claims
• A protection claim refusal e.g., asylum
• British citizenship Revocation

A judicial review can challenge the lawfulness of a decision by the Home Office if you believe it was illegal or unreasonable. It is usually a remedy of last resort and is more concerned with whether the law has been applied correctly rather than if the correct decision was made.

Grounds For Immigration Judicial Review

There Are Specific Grounds Required For Immigration Judicial Review. Some Are As Follows:

• Irrationality: a decision is unreasonable (e.g. the Wednesbury case)
• Illegality: the decision-maker lacked the authority required to make the legal decision
• Procedural misconduct: the procedure that led to the decision was legally incorrect
• The Human Rights Act 1998 was breached because of the decision
