Regina (KA) v Essex County Council [2013] EWHC 43 (Admin); [2013] WLR (D) 60

Where an illegal entrant had been refused leave to remain but nevertheless had a substantive claim under the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, for example to a family or private life in this country, that would found an appeal against removal directions if made, it was necessary in for a local authority to consider whether, on the facts, support should be provided under the Children Act 1989 in order to avoid a breach of those rights as part of the procedural protection afforded by the Convention.

reflected on the case and wondered about what had happened to the large
extended family and its campaign for justice for James.”

Religious courts and Sharia divorce – Halsbury’s Law Exchange

Posted February 5th, 2013 in arbitration, children, courts, divorce, financial provision, Judaism, news, residence orders by sally

“If you glanced at the front page of The Times for 1 February, with its headline ‘High Court opens way to Sharia divorces’, you could have been forgiven for thinking that the court had made some important pronouncement on the role of Sharia (Islamic law) in divorce proceedings. The story’s first paragraph would also have led you naturally to that conclusion. ‘The prospect of divorce cases being settled by Sharia and religious courts’, it says, ‘has been opened up by landmark legal decision.’ So it would have come as a bit of a jolt to read the start of the next paragraph: ‘A Jewish couple have had their divorce settlement under Beth Din, rabbinical law, approved by the High Court.’ As this indicates, the case (AI v MT [2013] EWHC 100 (Fam)) says nothing whatsoever about Sharia.”
