We're piloting a new project, the Strategic Legal Advice Committee (SLAC) and would love you to come to our free Strategic Litigation Myth-Busting launch event to hear more about it!

Details: Wed 23 March, 5-6.30pm on Zoom

Sign up here: bit.ly/36HFTTv

Speakers below!

@SimonFRCox

Our amazing panelists include: @SimonFRCox, @shushinluh, @MikeSpencerLaw, Sasha Rozansky of @dpg_law and Jean Demars of @publiclawcentre

This event is an opportunity to answer all the things you've ever wondered about #strategiclitigation but been afraid to ask.

⚡️Like, how much impact can this really have on the issues we care about?

⚡️Or, how can I ask our lawyer how much strategic litigation will really cost?

⚡️Or how do I explain if there are potential risks to our NGO partners?

No prior knowledge of strategic litigation is required, just an interest in harnessing the #law to create change!

🚨Please share widely!

#SLF

@UKHouseofLords

🧵Great news! 👏👏On day 2 Report Stage of the #NationalityandBordersBill yesterday, the @UKHouseofLords voted to defeat the Government 8 times, on several important counts, in order to👇:

1⃣Remove Clause 15 which would give the Home Secretary powers to deem a person’s #asylum claim ‘inadmissible’, denying them access to the asylum system unless there are exceptional circumstances, if they travelled through or had a connection to a ‘safe’ third country (221-172)

2⃣Remove Clause 28(a) which would give the Government powers to remove people seeking asylum and detain them in offshore #detention centres (208-155)

A statement of changes to the Immigration Rules has been laid: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl….

The explanatory memorandum is here: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl….

These changes are said to implement the new agreement in relation to Northern Ireland, specifically with respect to family reunion.

These changes also widen the scope of the domestic violence provisions in the EUSS. Now any family member within scope of the EUSS whose family relationship with the EEA citizen breaks down is included (not just spouses and civil partners).
