Comment on British women disproportionately affected by new immigration rules by AS

I won an appeal at Taylor House on appendix Fm, and FM-SE in which the new rules were largely disregarded by the judge.

The Respondent has chosen not to appeal which begs the question of whether there is any stomach for a real fight over the provisions or even an informal acknowledgement that there are real flaws in them.
