Part 1 - Preparing and making bail applications to the First-tier Tribunal: law and practice

10:30am - 12pm, Thursday 23 April 2020

This session will provide you with an understanding of the current landscape including the impact of Detention Action and Mikhail Ravin v Secretary of State for the Home Department (CO/1101/2020) and the First-tier Tribunal’s use of remote hearings for bail applications. 

We will review underlying principles to detain for immigration purposes, and against this background, we will explore options for securing your client’s release. Drawing on our own experiences of remote bail hearings, you will also be provided with practical tips for preparing a bail application to the First-tier Tribunal.
