We recognise the overwhelming importance of this
area of law. Asylum Support, in the form of good accommodation,
effective community care and proper welfare payments, is a central
concern of those seeking refuge in the United Kingdom while they
are waiting for their claims to be decided. Such support is a basic
human entitlement. As a result of our strong background in the Asylum,
Housing and Social Security fields of law, as well as our specific
experience in this field, we have the expertise to advise and represent
clients as required.

There are many different housing and benefit regimes that apply
to asylum seekers. Asylum Support springs from sources such as NASS,
the local authorities, and the Benefits Agency. It is a complex
area. In addition we acknowledge that there are difficulties in
bringing challenges where there is often no statutory right of appeal
and the only form of redress is via the process of judicial review.
We aim to work with our solicitors to ensure that the social welfare
and human rights of our clients are fully protected and that they
suffer no further indignities.
Members of chambers are available to advise on rights and represent
people as required. We regularly act for asylum seekers and persons
from abroad in bringing claims for judicial review to obtain asylum
support, community care, and housing remedies.
