Realistically, once he receives assurances from the Home Office that no action will be taken, that is the end of the matter, and it would be legally problematic for a subsequent government to reverse that.
- mabbo 4y agoAs the world moves further towards authoritarianism, how secure do you think Sir Mo feels about that? In his shoes, would you be brave enough to speak out politically against a government in power, given his situation?
- pmyteh 4y agoYou're both right. The Home Secretary's statement that no action will be taken can form the basis of a 'legitimate expectation' which is enforceable by judicial review if a future government changes its mind. Would I risk that, given current government threats against both refugees and the continued availability of effective judicial review? I'm not sure. Probably not.
