Etame v Secretary of State for the Home Department and Another; Anirah v Same: Admn 23 May 2008

Both claimants applied to the defendant Secretary of State to have deportation orders made against them revoked on asylum or human rights grounds. These applications were rejected. Both had previously made asylum or human rights claims that were the subject of adverse determinations and unsuccessful appeals before the deportation orders were signed. Both claimed a right of appeal with suspensive effect (that is to say an appeal from within the United Kingdom) as a result of this immigration history and the proper meaning of section 92(4)(a) of the Nationality Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.
Held: Only a first claim to asylum or a fresh claim will result in an in-country appeal under section 92(4).
