CHALLENGING IMMIGRATION DETENTION AND SEEKING COMPENSATION

Challenging Immigration Detention

Mark Lilley-Tams

Director

" There continues to be no limit on the amount of time that a person can be detained under immigration powers. It is very common for foreign nationals to be detained for substantial periods of time whilst their immigration cases are ongoing.


At OTB Legal, our first priority will be advising you on the best way to secure your release from detention. We can then also provide you advice on whether your detention is unlawful, and will assist you with claiming compensation from the Home Office if appropriate.


If you would like to start receiving advice in connection with your own detention, we are here to help. "

Assess

Price - £0.00

Before we take on a case we always want to establish what the right kind of application is for you and this is what the Assessment Stage is all about.

We find out more about you and what you want to achieve. It is an informal discussion which can be delivered how you want it, whether that is over the phone, using video conferencing or at our easily accessible office - it is entirely your choice.

This stage is completely free and there is no obligation to take on our paid services. At the end of the Assessment Stage you will have a clear plan as to the range of applications available, the costs involved and how likely you are to get a successful outcome.

Unlawful Detention and Compensation Claim

Price - Discounted Fee Agreements available

We can provide advice on challenging your current detention or on seeking compensation for a previous period of detention if you were detained unlawfully. We will carry out research to determine whether the Home Office have acted unlawfully, and give you clear advice about what steps are involved in challenging the detention and pursuing compensation. Although many compensation claims are settled before reaching a final hearing, we have the expertise to represent you to a full hearing and will always seek the best possible outcome for you. 

The work involved in this service includes:

  • Carrying out research and fact-finding to establish whether you have a claim.
  • Writing to the Home Office to set out your case and give them an opportunity to settle.
  • Instruct a Barrister to prepare grounds in support of the Court Application and advise on the likely damages that can be claimed.
  • Issue proceedings in Court.
  • Represent you in the Court Process and comply with the Court's Directions.
  • Arrange for a Barrister to represent you at a hearing.

We may be able to offer you a discounted fee agreement which will reduce the costs you are liable for if the claim is not successful. Contact us to find out more about our services and how we might be able to assist.

What were the circumstances that caused you to look for a Legal adviser?

They deprive my citizenship and indefinite leave. Also they refuse my parents to visit me. On top of that they refused my wife's visa.

How did Mark help you?

He helped me on everything that I asked for. He was always available at any time. Through Mark and Paragon Law I exceeded all my cases.  

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for? Yes, in all the cases which they are all in my favour.

What could they have done better? From my point of view they were better than expected.
