Arturas (Child’s Best Interests: NI Appeals) Lithuania: UTIAC 8 Sep 2021

(1) Under the laws of England and Wales and the law of Scotland, a failure by the Secretary of State to comply with her duties under section 55(1) or (3) of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 is highly unlikely to prevent the Tribunal from reaching a lawful decision in a human rights appeal involving a child: AJ (India) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2011] EWCA Civ 1191; ZG v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2021] CSIH 16.
(2) Under the law of Northern Ireland, the position is different: JG v Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber [2019] NICA 27.
