LNB NEWS: ILPA responds to Tribunal Procedure Committee consultation on tribunal changes

The Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association (ILPA) has responded to the Tribunal Procedure Committee consultation on possible changes to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) Rules and the Upper Tribunal Rules arising from the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 (NBA 2022). 

Lexis®Library update: In their response, the ILPA raised concerns that a number of the proposals from the consultation will negatively impact justice and fairness in immigration and asylum appeals and reduce the long-term viability and sustainability of the immigration legal aid sector.
