MD (Judge’s Knowledge; Standard of English) Pakistan: AIT 12 Mar 2009

AIT 1. An Immigration Judge who believes that, in dealing with other cases, he has developed a specialised familiarity with a particular sort of evidence, that causes him to reach an adverse view of the genuineness of evidence produced to him, ought not to act on that view without giving the parties an opportunity to deal with the point.
2. An appellant may be able to make himself understood in written English statements produced in his own time without having the ability in English necessary to follow an advanced course dealing with abstract concepts.
