SRA ID: 529326
I am a Solicitor within working within Public Law and Immigration Law at Duncan Lewis Solicitors. I have extensive experience representing clients in Judicial Review proceedings. I have particular interest in representing vulnerable individuals, such as victims of torture, victims of trafficking and disputed minors with complex unlawful detention claims. I have previously represented Claimants challenging the certification of their asylum claims on Third Country Grounds and who have received removal directions to Cyprus and Italy. In addition, I have worked on a number of cases involving vulnerable individuals whose asylum claims were previously dealt with under the Detained Fast Track scheme. On numerous occasions, I have obtained a last minute stay on removal to prevent the removal of clients to countries such as Afghanistan and Nigeria on the basis of their health and fitness to fly. In March 2017, I lodged a Judicial Review application for a client with removal directions to Nigeria. In the process of her removal, Home Office-contracted Tascor officials placed her in a waist restraint belt and dragged her across the ground. Her experience was documented in an article in the Guardian newspaper
