Immigration, (2021)
Right to respect for private and family life: immigration, (2021) Right to respect for private and family life: immigration Last date of review: 02 March 2021 Last update: General updating. Authored by Austen Morgan 33 Bedford Row Chambers Convention rights - from the 1950 European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and given further effect by scheduling to the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) have applied incontrovertibly in domestic UK law since 2 October 2000. There was considerable discussion from 1997 about which rights would be litigated in future years, on the basis of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) at Strasbourg, in the three jurisdictions of the United Kingdom (UK): England and Wales; Scotland; and Northern Ireland. Some commentators anticipated that art.8 (the right to respect for private and family life) would be important, as the basis of a new domestic right to privacy. Few, if any, predicted that the family life aspect of art.8 would play a significant role in UK immigration law and practice; this regulates the entry (and possibly exit) of non-nationals, whether as visitors, students, workers, investors or residents. Overview of Topic 1. This article looks at legislative, executive and judicial attempts to limit such art.8 cases since 2000, a project led by successive Secretaries of State (SoS) for the Home Department, of whom there have been six Labour, one coalition Conservative and three Conservatives in the past 20 years. 2. It considers the following topics: the structure of art.8 in immigration cases; how the SoS might theoretically limit its effect in tribunals and courts; the failed attempt to do so through the Immigration Rules; the slightly more successful attempt to do so through statute; the mixed response of the senior judiciary; and future prospects. -

EXPLANATORY NOTES Immigration Act 2014
EXPLANATORY NOTES Immigration Act 2014 Chapter 22 £11.00 These notes refer to the Immigration Act 2014 (c. 22) which received Royal Assent on 14 May 2014 IMMIGRATION ACT —————————— EXPLANATORY NOTES INTRODUCTION 1. These explanatory notes relate to the Immigration Act which received Royal Assent on 14 May 2014. They have been prepared by the Home Office in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament. 2. The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given. 3. A glossary of abbreviations and terms used in these explanatory notes is contained in the annex to these notes. SUMMARY 4. This Act is in 7 parts. 5. Part 1 of the Act, and Schedules 1 and 2, contain powers to enable the removal of persons unlawfully in the United Kingdom (“the UK”), enforcement powers, restrictions on bail and additional powers to take biometric information. 6. Part 2 amends rights of appeal, limiting immigration appeals to circumstances where there has been a refusal of a human rights or asylum or humanitarian protection claim, or where refugee status or humanitarian protection has been revoked. It also provides a power for the Secretary of State to certify that to require an appellant who is liable to deportation to leave the UK before their appeal is determined would not cause serious irreversible harm, in which case the person may only appeal from outside the UK. -
1 UK BORDERS ACT 2007 1 the Act Received Royal Assent on 30 October 2007. the Following Are the Acts on the Subject of Immigrati
Briefing Paper 8.21 www.migrationwatchuk.org UK BORDERS ACT 2007 1 The Act received Royal Assent on 30 October 2007. The following are the Acts on the subject of immigration and asylum currently on the statute book: Immigration Act 1971 Immigration Act 1988 Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act 1993 Asylum and Immigration Act 1996 Special Immigration Appeals Commission Act 1997 Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Act 2004 Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 UK Borders Act 2007 2 Each Act since 1971 has heavily amended earlier Acts and introduced substantial new provisions, with the result that legislation on these topics is diffuse and complex. There is a desperate need for a consolidation Act to tidy up the law, but there is no sign of that as yet. Anyone practising in the field must also take into account the Human Rights Act 1998, the Race Relations Act 1976 and the British Nationality Act 1981. 3 The title “UK Borders Act” marks a complete change from earlier nomenclature, but this is deceptive. The purpose described in its long title is “to make provision about immigration and asylum: and for connected purposes.” It contains an assortment of sections amending existing legislation and introducing new measures. Its main provisions are: (i) New powers of detention for immigration officers at ports. (ii) New powers enabling the Home Secretary to make regulations requiring persons subject to immigration control to apply for a document recording external physical characteristics - a “biometric immigration document”. (iii) New and drastic procedures for the deportation of foreign criminals, obviously prompted by revelations about the shortcomings of existing procedures which came to light during 2006. -
6. the Immigration Act 2014 and the Right to Rent David Smith
6. The Immigration Act 2014 and the Right to Rent David Smith INTRODUCTION The Right to Rent is a new concept created by the Immigration Act 2014. It is distinct from the right to work and the right to reside and is a slightly lower standard than both of these in that it is available to people who are not eco- nomically active and have no recourse to public funds or a right to work in the UK. The essential purpose of the system, as with much of the Immigration Act 2014, is the creation of the so-called hostile environment for illegal migrants originally flagged by Theresa May in a 2012 interview in the Telegraph given when she was Home Secretary (Kirkup & Winnett, 2012). More recently this has been recast as the ‘compliant environment’ with a set of rules that those who might potentially interact with migrants must follow (Travis, 2017). The original 2014 Act has been hardened further by amendments made in the Immigration Act 2016 which has created specific criminal offences relating to breaches of the right to rent and have substantially increased the powers to evict people who lack the right to rent. However, there are very serious problems with elements of the right to rent in terms of its effects on the rights of individual occupiers and how it will work in the parts of the UK in which substantial law-making powers have been devolved to local governments. APPLICATION OF THE RIGHT TO RENT The right to rent provisions apply to all ‘residential tenancy agreements’ but this is defined in a way that is somewhat contrary to that understood by most lawyers. -

Murray* Key Words Magna Carta – Human Rights – UK Exceptionalism – British Bill of Rights Abstract Close scrutiny rarely flatters the foundation myths of political orders, but this has not stopped such myths being co-opted for political ends. The near-mythical place of Magna Carta within the UK’s constitutional history allowed the Conservative Government to hitch its proposals for repeal of the Human Rights Act to celebrations of its 800-year anniversary. Celebrating a Charter which supposedly embodies the genesis of legal limitations on previously absolute power would seemingly sit uneasily with the Conservative Party’s commitment to parliamentary sovereignty in the face of the constraints imposed by the European Convention on Human Rights. -
