R (on the application of RA) v Secretary of State for the Home Department IJR [2015] UKUT 292 (IAC)
Ms Harrison and Ms Cronin, instructed by Bhatt Murphy Solicitors appeared on behalf of the Applicant.
Ms Rhee and Ms McArdle, instructed by the Government Legal Department appeared on behalf of the Respondent.
The second point is that we cannot turn a blind eye to the evidence which the current solicitors of R A and her mother have now accumulated. Again, we do not prejudge the extent to which this will have a bearing on the Secretary of State�s decision. It is a matter for the Secretary of State to take into account relevant factors but that evidence post-removal does raise concerns about the position of R A, turning as it does primarily on the position of the mental health of the mother.
Thirdly there are practical factors which bear on our decision. Ms Rhee on behalf of the Secretary of State informed us that the decision on the representations could be effective by 24 April, possibly earlier, but we cannot ignore the realities of delay because it is clear to us that should the decision be unfavourable there would be a further challenge. The possibility of delay does, however, have an important bearing on the position of R A in Nigeria.
