Ahmed Sabbagh-Parry, R (on the application of) v Secretary of State for the Home Office & Anor

Ahmed Sabbagh-Parry, R (on the application of) v Secretary of State for the Home Office & Anor

Permission to apply for judicial review was refused because the claim against the Home Office was premature, no final deportation decision had been made, and alternative remedies existed. The claims against the Secretary of State for Justice regarding prison categorisation and HDC were lawfully based on ongoing deportation proceedings, with no exceptional circumstances established. No arguable merit was found in any grounds, so extension of time and interim relief were also refused.
