IlLegal detention by the home office
If you have been detained for over a week and then released,
following a bail application or otherwise, we look into the reasons
behind your detention to establish whether the Home Office was
justified in doing so. Usually anything over one week without good
reason could be unlawful, giving rise to compensation.
Here at Burton & Burton, our experience has shown that more
