Pyjama Injunctions
The derisory term "Pyjama" injunctions is given to English legal injunctions that are decided late at the last minute before an action is to occur. The injunctions are used to provide a decision where expediency is required. The interim decision of judges on the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) regarding the legality of deportation flights by the United Kingdom to Rwanda as part of their Rwanda asylum plan have been described as 'pyjama injunctions'. The ECHR injunctions are formally called "Rule 39" and can be issued late at night if the Court believes that there is a risk to an individual of "serious and irreversible harm" and all other options have been exhausted that could block the government's actions. The legal commentator Marcel Berlins wrote that he knew of only one High Court judge that was actually wearing their pyjamas when issuing an injunction. In the early 2000s the late night injunctions were usually sought to prevent the publication by a newspaper of a story ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Injunctions In English Law
Injunctions in English law are a legal remedy of three types. Prohibitory injunctions prevent an individual or group from beginning or continuing actions which threaten or breach the legal rights of another. Mandatory injunctions are rarer and compel a person to carry out a certain act such as make restitution to an injured party. Freezing injunctions relate to funds such as bank accounts and are commonly Mareva Injunctions which are sought mainly in fraud, breach of trust and confiscatory proceedings. Injunctions are most common in cases involving significant matters of nuisance, privacy and libel (reputational damage); they are relatively common remedies in major employment/agency/distribution, trust and property disputes, especially interim, interlocutory injunctions pending settlement or final hearing, whichever is the earlier where there is a clear and present danger that the matter in dispute between the parties will be wholly frustrated (such as irretrievably removed outsi ...

Rwanda Asylum Plan
The UK and Rwanda Migration and Economic Development Partnership was an immigration policy proposed by the governments of Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak whereby people whom the United Kingdom identified as illegal immigrants or asylum seekers would have been relocated to Rwanda for processing, asylum and resettlement. Those who were successful in claiming asylum would have remained in Rwanda, and they would not have been permitted to return to the United Kingdom. The UK would invest in a development fund for Rwanda and financially support migrant's relocation and accommodation costs to move to Rwanda. The first flight for this plan received legal clearance from the High Court of Justice and was scheduled for 14 June 2022. A last-minute interim measure by the European Court of Human Rights led to the plan being halted until the conclusion of the legal action in the UK. At the end of 2022, the High Court further ruled that though the plan was lawful, the individual case ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
