Mogos v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2006] EWCA Civ 611 (18 January 2006)

Mogos v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2006] EWCA Civ 611 (18 January 2006)

The immigration judge was correct to limit his reconsideration to the specific point remitted by the IAT, namely the impact of Dr Huckstep's evidence on credibility, as the remittal did not authorize a full rehearing of the human rights claim. The original credibility findings stood, and the appeal was properly dismissed.
