'Serious flaws' in UK immigration system, Law Society warns
Bad immigration decisions are having a "devastating" effect on families and businesses and undermining the rule of law, solicitors have warned.
Nearly half of decisions that go to appeal in England and Wales are overturned, suggesting the system is "serious flawed", the Law Society said.
And, the group added, it needed to be fixed before Brexit kicks in.
The Home Office says appeals are upheld for a variety of reasons, often because new evidence is presented.
Anine Sutherland, who fought a three-year battle with the Home Office to assert her right to stay in the UK, said she was "treated like a criminal" by officials at her first tribunal hearing.
