- HCSA13/2020
Leave to appeal was refused because the intended appeal had no real prospect of success: the Tribunal correctly concluded it lacked jurisdiction over the appellant's pleaded claim (not being contract, quasi‑contract or tort), the police were authorized to check identity under s17C(2) in a bona fide immigration operation, the appellant produced no evidence of exemption, damage or malice to sustain tort claims, and the costs awards were supported by the Secretary for Justice's clear statement and evidence.
