ABOUT US
1.
BritCits is a human rights charity
and campaign group, focused on the rights of British citizens, residents
and non-EEA family members. We are especially concerned about UK’s
family immigration rules and hurdles being put in the way to prevent
family unity or those which force citizens into exile. Often judicial
review is the only means to keeping the family together so any curbs on
this route presents a further barrier for our members and others in
similar positions.
SUMMARY
2.
There are various elements in the CJC Bill which are of concern, because they
a)
are unnecessary as the current process is working efficiently
b)
will lead to a system where justice
is a privilege only for the rich, leading to a systematic devaluing of
parliamentary and judicial processes
c)
prevent NGOs from collating
resources to seek justice where an individual may otherwise not be able
to or where such an approach would be in the public interest
d)
will lead to government departments not being held accountable for not upholding the law
e)
persecute the most vulnerable
f)
when combined with the legal aid
provision for Judicial Review through the legal residence test, which
did not require primary legislation, completely avoids full
parliamentary scrutiny – not in my view therefore representative of a
democracy...
