Judicial review

Post by joanna2012 » Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:40 pm

Hi

I wonder if there are people here who have experience of judicial review. Our case has effectively been not decided for a year now and the MP is proving to be useless, hence our decision to file for judicial review. I would really appreciate if you could share your experience, how much time it takes, what documents you have submitted etc. All information will be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

what is the reason for the claim?

Have you send Pre-Action protocol to the defendant, which in this case will be the Secretary of State?

We have not sent the pre action letter yet. Wanted to get some other people views as to what we can expect before we go down the route.

I think irrationality will be one of the grounds.

What is the nature of your UKBA application that has not been decided?

We have applied for EEA2 unmarried partner visa which was rejected. The grounds for rejections was that we applied just a couple of weeks before my partner's previous visa expired.

We appealed and at a hearing the UKBA withdrew its decision stating that there is more than enough evidence to prove that our relationship has been durable. When appealing we did not submit any new evidence bar three photos of us together. We have been now waiting three months. They have been also ignoring our letters asking them to clarify my partner's right to work and over the past year on two occasions they stated they could not confirm his right (COA and letter to employer), twice they stated he did not have the right (letter to employer and response to MP) and some time ago when asked by the MP again they stated he did have the right to work.

Are both of you in the UK now? Why were you applying for a visa?

We are both in UK. My partner's previous tier 1 visa was coming to an end but we were planning on getting married so did not think about it. We then had to postpone our wedding due to a few deaths in the family hence applied for EEA2.

Ok, so you are not applying for a visa. Visa is only for when you are outside the UK and need to enter the UK.

When did you originally apply for the Residence Card (using form EEA2)?
