1483rd Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based Law, Justice, Legislation & Rights related daily news & legal articles archive brought to you by TheLawMap

FOCUS OF THE DAY: Peers have expressed concern that the Immigration Bill does not define what constitutes a “genuine obstacle” to failed asylum seekers leaving the UK. The Bill allows the home secretary to support asylum seekers who may become destitute only if they do not face a “genuine obstacle” to leaving the UK. However, the Bill leaves the definition of the term to secondary legislation. Full story - New Law Journal
