Hello Folks, a client has received a deportation liability notice 2 weeks after securing a conditional discharge from the Tribunal (this seems to be happening more and more, I’m not sure what’s afoot at the Home Office). I have approached every legal aid immigration firm and voluntary sector agency I can find within an ever expanding radius without success. It is a dreadful decision in this particular case. If anyone has any possible leads I could follow I would be very grateful. Client is in the South-East. Cheers, Neil ---

I am an academic teaching Mental Health Law on LLB- so have no practical knowledge. However, your post interested me, so have been reading around the subject (anything to distract me from marking assignments).

For expert assistance with your immigration matter, contact Reiss Edwards, immigration lawyers and solicitors in London, on +44 (0) 20 3744... By Amar Ali, Immigration Solicitor November 27, 2020 Under the UK’s deportation rules, any non-EU migrant in the UK who has committed a crime leading to a prison sentence of between one and four years will be deported to their home country unless they can make a strong case based on the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). A sentence of more than four years will lead to automatic deportation. But what would happen if the offender has a diagnosed mental illness? ---

Dear Brenda, Thank you very much for your reply and for the very helpful article - I feel like we have stepped in to a legal vacuum…it is proving impossible to get this client any representation or advice. BW Neil ---

Thank you both for raising this. It is a really interesting topic and a sad reflection on the Home Office’s approach to patients. I have circulated the article to our Forensic Community team for information as it is relevant to any non-EU patients who may be considering applying to Tribunal. I look forward to reading any updates people chose to post.
