R (on the application of BF (Eritrea)) (Respondent) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Appellant) [2021] UKSC 38 The issues in the appeal are (1) whether the Court of Appeal erred in law in assessing the lawfulness of the policy guidance by reference to whether it (a) created a real risk of more than a minimal number of children being detained, and/or (b) created a risk which could be avoided if the terms of the policy were better formulated; and (2) whether the Court of Appeal erred in concluding that criterion C, as construed in the context of the relevant policy as a whole, is unlawful. 30 July 2021 \| Judicial Body: United Kingdom: Supreme Court \| Document type: Case Law \| Topic(s): Asylum policy - Evidence (including age and language assessments / medico-legal reports) \| Countries: Eritrea - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Ainte (material deprivation – Art 3 – AM (Zimbabwe)) [2021] UKUT 0203 (IAC) (i)Said [2016] EWCA Civ 442 is not to be read to exclude the possibility that Article 3 ECHR could be engaged by conditions of extreme material deprivation. Factors to be considered include the location where the harm arises, and whether it results from deliberate action or omission. (ii) In cases where the material deprivation is not intentionally caused the threshold is the modified N test set out in AM (Zimbabwe) [2020] UKSC 17. The question will be whether conditions are such that there is a real risk that the individual concerned will be exposed to intense suffering or a significant reduction in life expectancy. (iii) The Qualification Directive continues to have direct effect following the UK withdrawal from the EU. 22 July 2021 \| Judicial Body: United Kingdom: Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) \| Document type: Case Law \| Legal Instrument: 1950 European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) \| Topic(s): EU Qualification Directive - Freedom from torture, inhuman and degrading treatment - Livelihoods \| Countries: Somalia - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
