Human Rights
Human Rights Act Articles
The Human Rights Act incorporates the rights set out in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into UK law. These rights protect individuals from actions by public authorities that could interfere with their fundamental freedoms. Key articles under the Human Rights Act include:
- Article 2 – Right to life.
- Article 3 – Prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
- Article 5 – Right to liberty and security.
- Article 8 – Right to respect for private and family life.
- Article 14 – Prohibition of discrimination in enjoying these rights.
These rights are fundamental in immigration cases, especially when challenging deportation orders or seeking to remain in the UK based on family or private life considerations.
Leave Outside the Immigration Rules
Leave outside the Immigration Rules refers to permission to stay in the UK granted outside the standard immigration rules. This type of leave is discretionary and may be granted on humanitarian grounds or exceptional circumstances not covered by the Immigration Rules. Examples include victims of trafficking, individuals requiring medical treatment, or those at risk of serious harm if returned to their home country.
To apply for leave outside the Immigration Rules, you must demonstrate compelling reasons why you should be granted permission to stay in the UK, despite not meeting the usual immigration criteria.
Discretionary Leave to Remain
Discretionary Leave to Remain (DLR) is granted in exceptional cases where an individual does not qualify for any other form of leave under the Immigration Rules but is allowed to stay in the UK based on compassionate or compelling circumstances. This may include victims of domestic violence, children who have lived in the UK for a significant period, or individuals with serious medical conditions.
The duration of DLR varies depending on the circumstances of the case, typically ranging from 2.5 to 10 years. After this period, you may be eligible to apply for further leave to remain or settlement (indefinite leave to remain).
Further Leave to Remain
Further Leave to Remain (FLR) allows individuals to extend their stay in the UK beyond the initial period granted under their current visa or leave. This could include extending a work visa, family reunion visa, or humanitarian protection. FLR applications must be submitted before the current leave expires and require evidence that you continue to meet the requirements of your visa category.
