United Kingdom: Asylum and Immigration Tribunal / Immigration Appellate Authority

The Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (AIT) forms part of the Tribunals Service, an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice. The implementation of AIT in 2005, superseded the former Immigration Appellent Authority (IAA). The AIT hears and decides appeals against decisions made by the Home Office in matters of asylum, immigration and nationality. The Asylum and Immigration Tribunal was abolished by Article 2 of the Transfer of Functions of the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal Order 2010, and its functions were transferred to the First-tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber (UTIAC), created under Part 1 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, effective 15 February 2010. Website: www.ait.gov.uk/

AN & SS (Tamils - Colombo - Risk?) Sri Lanka v. Secretary of State for the Home Department

Heard at Field House, on 11-13 February 2008. This determination updates and supersedes PS (LTTE – internal flight – sufficiency of protection) Sri Lanka CG [2004] UKIAT 297. PR (medical facilities) Sri Lanka CG [2002] UKIAT 4269 is, owing to its antiquity, no longer to be treated as country guidance on the availability of medical treatment for returnees. The guidance in PS and LP (LTTE Area - Tamils - Colombo - Risk?) Sri Lanka CG [2007] UKAIT 00076, however, has been considered and approved by the European Court of Human Rights in NA v United Kingdom, handed down on 17th July 2008. See also R (on the application of SS (Sri Lanka)) v. Secretary of State for the Home Department [2009] EWHC 223 (Admin), which confirmed the approach to the current risk as stated in NA.
