Time for your June round up of all things Free Movement - and Barry is back! In this month's episode both Sonia and Barry divulge some rather niche interests, while discussing the second latest (!!) statement of changes, the Migration Advisory Committee's review into the minimum income requirement, the legal aid crisis (the increase was announced the day of recording) and impact on the tribunals. They also looked at difficulties for both Afghan women and Ukrainians seeking protection in the UK. Cases included a mystifying decision by some legal representatives to ignore a helpful email from the Home Office, some guidance on bringing Cart judicial reviews under the new restrictions, a certificate of travel refusal and more!
