Marie tells you that she fled Sell as a result of her involvement in a political opposition group which is called the Salish Freedom Party [SFP] and which is a small political group seeking a separatist state within Sell for members of the Salish clan. The Salish clan has its own language but most members of the Salish also speak some of the national language of Sell. Marie tells you that she was detained in Sell following her attendance at a demonstration for the SFP and that she remained in detention for 3 months after which she was able to escape whilst being transported to another detention centre. Marie also tells you that she was beaten with batons and burnt with cigarettes whilst she was in detention and that she was forced to sign a piece of paper confirming that she would stop supporting the SFP. She tells you that she remained in hiding for a month whilst her uncle made arrangements with an agent for her to leave Sell. Marie also tells you that she has left her passport and ID card in Sell with her parents. Marie has come to see you about her claim for asylum which she made on her arrival in the UK. She is concerned because she used a false passport to enter the UK and has been told that she might face a criminal prosecution as a result. She asks you if there is anything she can do about this. (a) With reference to any relevant Statute, what, if any defence, does Marie have to a potential criminal prosecution? (b) The Secretary of State indicates that she does not accept Marie s nationality or that she is a member of the Salish clan.

8 Question 2 - Immigration Law [23 marks] Zahra is a citizen of Bahrain. She came to the UK in 2004 as the dependent child of her father (who had indefinite leave to remain). She was 14 years old at the time. In 2008, she was granted indefinite leave to remain. In 2011, she met and married Syed (who is also a Bahraini citizen) in an Islamic nikah ceremony at their local mosque.

D. in Nanonuclear Science. His government sponsorship extends to bearing all of the costs of his studies and the living costs of himself and any dependents. Since his Islamic nikah with Zahra, he has been provided with a three bedroom flat and a monthly allowance of 2500 for living costs which is paid via the Bahraini Embassy in the UK. The Bahraini government has made it clear that should this amount not be enough, Syed can apply for an increase in his monthly allowance. In 2012, Zahra gave birth to a baby girl, Aisha. Aisha holds British citizenship. In the latter part of 2013, Zahra becomes pregnant with the couple s second child. The couple had a civil registry marriage on 19 December Due to a family emergency, Zahra travels to Bahrain with Aisha in early On 7 July 2014, whilst still in Bahrain, she gives birth to a baby boy, Faisal.

Last month, he was informed that he had been granted Portuguese citizenship and a week ago, he received his Portuguese passport. Vivek s older brother, Krishan, lives in the UK and Vivek decides to visit Krishan for three weeks. Vivek is aware that he can travel to the UK and enter without difficulty.

After the death of his parents some years ago, he took responsibility for Jaya and he has paid for her education and has supported her financially. She will graduate from the University of Goa next month. He left some money with her for her living costs when he left India. Now that he has decided to stay in the UK, he will be sending her some money for her support when he receives his salary at the end of the month.

13 Option A - Asylum [31 marks] Guy arrived in the UK in December 2012 with leave to enter as a Tier 4 (General) Migrant valid until 13 th August On 12 th August 2014 he made an application for asylum. He was detained when he attended the Screening Unit for his initial interview. His case is not a fast track case. Guy has contacted you from the detention centre for advice regarding his asylum claim. He tells you that Immigration Officers wish to interview him regarding his asylum claim which he made 2 days ago and that he has asked for time to consult a legal representative but has been told by the Immigration Officer that he is to be interviewed tomorrow and that there is no obligation on the Secretary of State to allow him to find legal advice. (a) With reference to any applicable Immigration Rules, is the Immigration Officer correct? [5 marks] (b) Guy has heard from other detainees that he should not be detained because his leave to remain was extended as a result of him making an in time application to vary his leave. He asks you whether he can challenge the lawfulness of his detention on this basis. Guy s claim for asylum is based on his ethnicity. He is a member of the Yali clan and tells you that the Yali clan are targeted by members of the Mar clan who have attacked members of the Yali clan causing death and serious injuries to number of members of the Yali clan. The Mar clan are not part of the government but they are a significantly larger ethnic group than the Yali clan. Guy tells you that although the Mar are not part of the government, the state has not provided protection to the Yali because the police in his country do not like members of the Yali clan and are ineffective. He tells you that although there are laws in place criminalising attacks on an ethnic basis, the police do not enforce them. Page 13 of 20
14 (c) With reference to any applicable statutory instrument, is Guy able to show that he is not adequately protected? (d) Guy s claim for asylum is refused. He appeals against the decision and his appeal is heard by the First-tier Tribunal. You are explaining the procedure to Guy and he asks you whether he will have to give his evidence on oath. With reference to any applicable Rules does Guy have to give his evidence under oath? [3 marks] (e) You are preparing Guy s appeal and are preparing a background information bundle regarding the problems faced by the Yali clan. What evidence might you include in the bundle? (3 marks) Guy s appeal is refused. You make an application for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal but the application is refused. You renew the application for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal and the application is refused again. Guy wants to know whether he can make any further applications to challenge the Firsttier Tribunal decision. (f) With reference to any applicable Procedure Rules, what other application, if any, can Guy make? The Secretary of State withdraws Guy s decision following a change in circumstances in his country whereby the Mar clan is now in government. The Secretary of State grants Guy refugee status. Guy comes to see you for advice about family reunion because he has a wife and child in his home country and wishes to apply to bring them to the UK. Guy has made an application for his wife and child to join him in the UK. The applications have been refused because the ECO is not satisfied that his wife and child are related to him as claimed. Guy is not working and is concerned about the costs of a DNA test and an appeal. Page 14 of 20
15 (g) He asks you whether an appeal against the decision will be covered by legal aid. What is your advice to him? Page 15 of 20
16 Option B: Immigration Law [31 marks] Thoko is British citizen. She met Steve, who is from Nigeria, approximately two years ago. They formed a relationship and he started living with Thoko fourteen months ago. They were married last month at their local Registry Office. Steve arrived as a visitor to the UK four years ago but decided to stay here despite the expiry of his visa. Thoko was aware of the fact that Steve was an overstayer before they got married. Steve also worked illegally in a restaurant for five months last year. He was picked up in a Home Office raid on the restaurant he was working in, detained for a couple of days, questioned and then released after being served with papers. The papers he was served with required him to report fortnightly to the Local Enforcement Team. He tells you that after reporting for the first two months, he stopped reporting because he was worried that he would be detained again. He and Thoko have decided that Steve is going to return to Nigeria at his own expense. Their plan is that Thoko will then sponsor him to return to the UK as her spouse under the provisions of Appendix FM. a) How soon after returning to Nigeria can Steve submit an application for entry clearance to return to the UK as Thoko s spouse? Explain you answer by reference to relevant Immigration Rules. (4 marks) b) What further advice would you give Steve in relation to the applicability or otherwise of the general grounds of refusal in Part 9 of the Immigration Rules to any application he makes under Appendix FM. Explain your answer by reference to relevant Immigration Rules in your answer. (6 marks) Steve also tells you that six months ago, he was arrested and charged with assault following a fracas outside his local pub. He was tried and convicted at the Magistrates Court and given a conditional discharge for one year because he was Page 16 of 20
17 able to produce evidence that he was trying to stop a fight between some acquaintances. c) Steve wants to know whether this conviction will adversely affect the entry clearance application he intends to make and whether he should answer Yes or No to the question in the application form that asks about previous convictions. Give reasons for your answer and cite any relevant case law. d) How would you answer differ if Steve had been sentenced to pay a fine of 1000 following his conviction? You must make reference to relevant Immigration Rules in your answer. Steve returns to Nigeria and, in accordance with your advice, submits an application for entry clearance. The application is refused and you prepare grounds of appeal on his behalf. Your colleague, who completed the IAFT2 form, inadvertently forgot to complete the fee payment page of the form. e) What effect, if any, will this have on Steve s appeal? (2 marks) f) Does the FTT(IAC) have a power to make any form of order in relation to any of the costs associated of Steve s appeal? You must cite relevant Rules in your answer.

You must refer to relevant Immigration Rules in you answer. (3 marks) Page 17 of 20
