Court of Appeal rules @ukhomeoffice acted "unlawfully and unfairly" when deciding claims by child refugees in Calais. Court also held the Govt misled the High Court by a "serious breach of the duty of candour and co-operation by the Secretary of State".

Great work by @safepassageuk, @CitizensUK, @IslingtonLawCen's @MigrantsLawProj and @DoughtyStPublic's @michelleknorr & Charlotte Kilroy!
Shameful behaviour by the Government - firstly, mistreating refugee minors & then misleading the High Court about how it had behaved and why.

So @ukhomeoffice admitted it refused to give the refugee children reasons why their claims were refused just so they could not take legal action against the Home Office.
As the court says, that is exactly why reasons must be given - so legal action can be taken, where needed!

To everyone asking whether the court recommended any disciplinary/legal action be taken against the Home Office lawyers/officials responsible for actively misleading the High Court, as would have been done if it was an immigrant's lawyer who had done so - HAHAHA!
