Comment

The comment in the report is unfair. This firm has been doing immigration work for twenty years, both legal aid and private. There are only a limited number of counsels who are genuinely committed to immigration work and aim at promoting the immigrant / asylum seekers' interest. Some counsels take up immigration work in the early years of their career but do not stay and built up their expertise. There are also limited choice of chambers. We had the experience counsel dropped out on short notice and in another case our client's hearing was 'side-stepped'. Our client was waiting at the tribunal (Upper Tier Tribunal today). No counsel turned up. The senior clerk sent in a letter to the tribunal to 'apologize'. The case went ahead without counsel. Immigrants/asylum seekers are mostly non white. Even in private funding case, it seems difficult to instruct a good counsel from a good chamber.
