Detention Action v Lord Chancellor;Subnom R (on the application of Detention Action) v First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) and others [2015] EWCA Civ 840, [2015] All ER (D) 314 (Jul)

The defendant Lord Chancellor appealed against the judge’s decision that the Fast Track Rules (the FTR), which governed appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) against refusals by the Secretary of State of asylum applications, were ultra vires.
