Rana (S 85A; Educational Loans Scheme) Bangladesh: UTIAC 15 Nov 2019

1. There was nothing in s 85A of the 2002 Act preventing the Secretary of State from adducing evidence.
2. The requirement to show that a loan was ‘part of an Academic or Educational Loan Scheme’ for the purposes of paragraph 1B(d)(7) of Appendix C is not met merely by showing that the loan was for educational purposes. Such a scheme will have some element of government or official involvement, will be of advantage to students in comparison with ordinary commercial loans, and will be concerned with the loans as a group as well as individually.
