Judges rule against policy after high court found it was lawful to send some people to Rwanda to have claims processed
Three senior judges have ruled that it is unlawful for the UK government to send asylum seekers to Rwanda to have their claims processed.
The court of appeal ruling from Lord Burnett, Sir Geoffrey Vos, and Lord Justice Underhill follows a four-day hearing in April against a high court ruling last December that found it was lawful to send some asylum seekers, including small boat arrivals, to Rwanda to have their claims processed rather than dealing with their applications for sanctuary in the UK.
