B v The Secretary of State for The Home Department: CA 6 May 2015

The appellant was detained under immigration rules. He refused to provide details of his nationality and now complained of his continuing detention in the light of a finding that he was unlikely to be returnable to Algeria, that being what was thought to be his home country.
Held: 1) The Court of Appeal allowed B’s appeal in relation to SIAC’s bail jurisdiction on the ground that SIAC had no jurisdiction to impose bail conditions on B if his detention would be unlawful.
(2) The Court of Appeal also allowed B’s appeal against the strike out of B’s SIAC appeal and remitted the matter to SIAC.
