S v SSHD – Immigration case on detention of children PDF Print E-mail
Written by Emma Ginn   
This case addressed the detention of an overstayer/minor offender and two young children for three and a half months after completion of fast tracking.
This was found to be unlawful for at least two months as there were no special reasons to believe abscondence was a risk and detention was not used as a last resort or for the shortest possible time as policy required.
