Applications for permission to apply for judicial review in relation to two linked claims, that came before me at a ‘rolled-up’ hearing to consider permission and, if permission is granted, the substantive claim for judicial review. Each applicant has been detained under immigration legislation and held in an immigration removal centre in England, where he undertook paid activities for which he was paid pounds 1 per hour under the current regime applicable to such activities.
The purpose of each application is to challenge by way of judicial review the decision of the respondent, the Secretary of State for the Home Department (‘the Secretary of State’) not to increase the rate paid for paid activities undertaken by detained persons in removal centres and not to modify the payment regime to provide more flexibility (‘the 2018 Decision’).
