Immigration - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
No5 Barristers' Chambers members regularly act in immigration and asylum matters at all levels of the court and tribunal system, and some have appeared before the ECJ and the ECtHR. Facilitated by the clerking team, led by Tony McDaid, they have a strong record of success in difficult challenges to deportation orders and asylum refusals, and possess significant expertise in relation to high-risk destinations for returnees. Solicitors describe the set as a "safe place for efficient and intelligent legal advice." Their key instructions include an appeal in the Supreme Court concerning deportation in an instance where the appellant had committed a crime but sought to resist deportation on the basis of undue harshness towards family members.
Geoff Carr is director of clerking in London.
