I also totally agree with Bad Paul, As i allready confirmed for £100 for me and same for my friend. But now due to situation, me and my friend are willing to contribute the amount which will be decided by the selected peoples who are willing to contribute without reasoning and further waste of time after getting approximate initial cost for the court case, i will arrange and also will try to arrange additional amount from other effected peoples. This must be done ASP.BadPaul wrote:I've lost any hope we will ever do anything on this collectively, as a group.
While we sat here and filled in 86 pages with our opinions the doctors took HO to court and it looks like the HO is changing the rules for them.
If we can't learn anything from this, then we deserve the current unfair rules and we should stop moaning about it.
I personally contacted an immigration firm to seek advice on taking HO to court.
Good luck to all of you with the lobbying, I am done with it.

This is there address.rooi_ding wrote:This was the email VBSI received in early June. My opinion is that he is not some “dodgy Chinese lawyer” (Eugene_UK If I were you I would refrain from making dearly beloved comments like that again and people should work together and not turn on each other). Instead of reinventing the wheel people could contact him to give support.
As a fonder member of VBSI I would suggest that anyone who wishes to take over the reins that they contact the VBSI as it is an excellent base to work from. The VBSI was never meant to be exclusive and belongs to everyone who is in this situation.
There is still on going work being done by the CL and her team in terms of attracting sympathetic public support. This is still important however as I said before that this will only be changed in court
Dear
Sirs,
First of all, I
congratulate you for your success in holding the demonstration on the 16th June
2006.
Perhaps I should
introduce myself first.
I am a
practising solicitor and a partner of Harvey Son & Filby Solicitors. I
myself migrated to the UK in September 1997 and was given ILR by the Home Office
following completion of four years work permit employment, last year. Therefore,
I can fully appreciate the feeling of those immigrants who have been working so
hard in the UK in the past years and have contributed significantly to the UK
tax pool. And the hurt inflicted upon them by the UK Government by imposing on
them the retrospective application of the new residence
rules.
For this course and
following numerous enquiries from the affected persons, I have voluntarily taken
the matter to the High Court for a Judicial Review of the new rules. This is a
class legal action instituted on behalf of a group of affected perons,
issued in early June 2006. And the Treasury Solicitor's Department acting
on behalf of the Home Office, has been served with a copy of the Claim. The TS
Department should now be taking instructions from their client (i.e. the Home
Office) if the latter intend to defend or review of the new rules. We
expect to hear from them within two to six weeks. Provided the Home Office
intend to defend, then the Judicial Review application would be decided by a
Judge by way of granting or refusing to grant permission to apply for Judicial
Review. Grant of permission to apply for a Judicial Review would be an indicator
that this is an arguable case with merits to proceed to a Full
Hearing.
I will keep you
informed of new development in the above matter, in due
course.
Thank
you.
Best
Wishes,
Stephen
