Regina on the Application of Pharis v Secretary of State for the Home Department: CA 25 May 2004

The claimant appealed refusal of judicial review of the respondent’s decision to remove him to Nigeria.
Held: The appeal was refused. The court said that in future the lodging of a notice of appeal should automatically stay any process of removal pending the appeal. This informal practice had been subject of considerable abuse, with spurious appeals.
