Abstract
Probably the biggest legal news of the period under consideration was the judgment of the Supreme Court in R (AAA (Syria) & Ors) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2023] UKSC 42, [2023] WLR 4433, in which it held unanimously that the Government's policy of sending asylum-seekers to Rwanda was unlawful. One critical issue was that under section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998, it is unlawful for a public authority to act in a way that is incompatible with a right under the ECHR – and the Secretary of State is a public authority for that purpose.
本报告所述期间最大的法律新闻可能是最高法院对 R (AAA (Syria) & Ors) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2023] UKSC 42, [2023] WLR 4433 一案的判决,在该案中,最高法院一致认为政府将寻求庇护者送往卢旺达的政策是非法的。其中一个关键问题是,根据 1998 年《人权法》第 6 条,公共当局的行为若不符合《欧洲人权公约》规定的权利,即属违法--而国务大臣就是公共当局。
