Conrad Hallin successfully represents Luton Borough Council in the Court of Appeal

29th February 2024


Conrad successfully represented Luton Borough Council in the Court of Appeal in the Official Solicitor’s appeal of the decision of a High Court Judge that it was in the best interests of P, a young man with significant learning difficulties, not to travel to Afghanistan with his extended family, who had previously gained asylum in the UK but were planning a trip to their country of origin. In the first case of its kind, the Court of Appeal refused the Official Solicitor’s appeal on the basis that the first-instance judge had erred by giving too much weight to the Foreign Office Guidance not to travel.

Jamie Mathieson had previously successfully represented Luton Borough Council in the High Court.
