Welcome to episode 70 of the Free Movement immigration update podcast. This month we lead on some case law on asylum before turning to the latest changes to the EU Settlement Scheme (yes, they’ve replaced Appendix EU all over again). We then discuss new Home Office guidance on deception, an interesting European Court of Human Rights judgment and the position with historic convictions in fresh deportation proceedings. For dessert, we celebrate the demise of the notorious “take-away rule”.
