HB (Ethiopia) and others v Secretary of State for the Home Department: CA 14 Dec 2006

The court considered the Human Rights effect of a delay in removal of a failed asylum seeker. Buxton LJ said of the claim that the delay led to a separate reason for not ordering the claimants’ return: ‘that enterprise failed, first because the effect in law of such delay is already well-settled by authority binding on this court; and second because all of the four cases before us fail on grounds not related to delay’.
