The UK’s complex deportation regime, involving intertwined immigration rules, statute and UK and ECHR case law, is finally to be considered by Supreme Court (see page 7). Permission to appeal to the Supreme Court has been granted in three separate cases. In the courts below these were:

• Secretary of State for the Home Department v AQ (Nigeria) & Ors [2015] EWCA Civ 250
• HA (Iraq) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2014] EWCA Civ 1304
• Makhlouf, Re Application for Judicial Review [2014] NICA 86

All concern deportation. In the first of the cases above, AQ (Nigeria), it is actually one of the linked cases, TH (Bangladesh), that has been granted permission.
