Today's Highlighted Video Story: Australia's border has reopened for the first time in 20 months, sparking emotional reunions at Sydney Airport. Only vaccinated Australian citizens are allowed into the country for now. The rules have also changed to allow vaccinated Australian citizens to travel internationally without having to apply for an exemption to leave the country.
Focus of the Day Story: TIn 2015, the Court of Appeal found that the fast-track procedure rules for appeals against the refusal of some types of asylum claim (the FTR) was “structurally unfair, unjust and ultra vires” (R (Detention Action) v First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) [2015] EWCA Civ 840; [2015] 1 WLR 5341, known as DA6). The Court of Appeal quashed the FTR because this structural unfairness “created a risk that the applicants would have inadequate time to obtain advice, marshall their evidence and properly present their cases”, which “created an unacceptable risk of unfairness in a significant number of cases”.
