Practice notes

This Practice Note covers the law relating to temporary admission and bail which applied as of 24 November 2016, prior to the commencement of the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016, SI 2016/1052.

This Practice Note examines the powers of the Home Office to detain individuals when exercising immigration control, as well as the forms of release that are relevant to persons who are liable to detention, ie temporary admission/temporary release, restriction orders and bail. The note is primarily intended to provide a summary of the key principles involved, as a detailed treatment of these topics is currently outside the scope of Lexis®PSL Immigration.

For more detailed commentary on these topics, including on challenging detention, please see Chapter 18 of Macdonald's Immigration Law and Practice (for which a relevant subscription to Lexis®Library is required). For a critical overview of the situation in relation to immigration detention in practice, please see the joint report of the All-party Parliamentary Groups on Refugees and Migrants into the use of immigration detention in the UK, published on 3
