HJT Training’s acclaimed annual judicial review conference gives you the chance to keep up to date and hear from leading practitioners on the implications of the latest developments in judicial review in the immigration field. We aim to refresh the knowledge of practitioners regarding procedures and funding, and to address the latest substantive law, including the impact of the transfer of some immigration judicial review proceedings into the Upper Tribunal.

We commence with an overview of the year’s developments before experienced practitioners discuss funding, evidence and tactics, addressing recurring issues from urgent removal cases to interim relief, and moving on to address topical challenges such as unlawful detention. There will also be an update on challenges to government decisions involving the PBS via the Administrative Court route, and on litigating fresh asylum and human rights claims, the treatment of children, “clearly unfounded” certificates, family life, and age assessment.

The conference will be presented by leading practitioners in the Immigration and Asylum field including:

• Stephen Knafler QC

• Mark Symes (Garden Court Chambers)

• David Jones (Garden Court Chambers)
• Jawaid Luqmani (Luqmani Thompson Solicitors)
• Tim Buley (Landmark Chambers)
• Philip Nathan (Landmark Chambers)
• Chris Jacobs (Landmark Chambers)
• Shu Shin Luh (Garden Court Chambers)
  

The conference will be followed by a drinks reception for delegates and speakers- an ideal networking opportunity and social event for the festive season!
