R (on the application of Idira) v Secretary of State for Home Department [2014] EWHC 4299 (Admin), [2014] All ER (D) 241 (Dec)

The claimant time-served foreign national offender issued judicial review proceedings, seeking damages to reflect his unlawful detention in prison, rather than in an immigration removal centre. The Administrative Court, in dismissing the application, held that it had been unlawful for the secretary of state to operate a blanket policy, providing criteria for detention in prison, which had ignored the circumstances of any particular case. However, R (on the application of Krasniqi) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2011] All ER (D) 145 (Dec) precluded a finding of breach of Art 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

NLJ this week: Promises broken on non-molestation orders?
Non-molestation orders are meant to be the frontline defence against domestic abuse, yet their enforcement often falls short. Writing in NLJ this week, Jeni Kavanagh, Jessica Mortimer and Oliver Kavanagh analyse why the criminalisation of breach has failed to deliver consistent protection
NLJ this week: Assisted dying under the legal microscope
Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close.
