This hearing followed a critical judgement in the High Court last July on the income requirement. The hearing ran over two days, and was attended by families affected by the rules, who gathered outside the Court of Appeal and in the public gallery to show their opposition to the rules. The legal arguments reportedly focused on the compatibility of the rules and their application by Home Office caseworkers with UK obligations under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. A fuller account of some of the points made at the hearing by a Britcits campaigner present at the hearing can be found here. A legal account of the key arguments can be found here. It is anticipated that a judgement will be made within the next three months. However, it is also expected that one or both sides will appeal the judgement, meaning that the case will then be heard in the Supreme Court - likely not to be listed until 2015." tags: news Channel 4 investigates life and tragic death of Alois Dvorzac - Free Movement "Which all leads us to the following devastating question: how did this life, so full of historical resonance, affection and adventure, end up extinguished, in handcuffs, in a British asylum detention centre?" tags: news Posted from Diigo.
