ConCourt Ruling Major Victory for Asylum Seekers - Analyst

View descriptionShare
 

The Constitutional Court has upheld a ruling that sections of the Refugee Act are unconstitutional. The case was brought by the Scalabrini Centre and Lawyers for Human Rights in 2023. Judges ruled on Tuesday that asylum seekers cannot be turned away for lacking documents or missing a five-day reporting deadline. The court said each application must be considered individually, on its own merits. For more on what this judgement entails, Elvis Presslin spoke to Specialist Immigration Lawyer, Ashraf Essop.
